Dr. Irvin Yalom: 50-Thousand Hours of Therapy - Michael Schulder’s Wavemaker Conversations

Dr. Irvin Yalom: 50-Thousand Hours of Therapy

Dr. Irvin Yalom

Legendary psychoanalyst and best-selling author Dr. Irvin Yalom shares gripping stories and profound insights about what he has taught his patients, and learned from them, about life and death.  Pulled from the Wavemaker archives to help us prepare for a happy — or happier — new year.  

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Yalom explains ways to cope with the fear of death that have helped his patients increase their fulfillment in life;  how tapping into one’s regrets can lead to a more regret-free future;  the difference between falling in love and standing in love;  how a kind gesture from a doctor during a difficult childhood impacted his life goals.  

And Dr. Yalom and I have quite a few laughs.  Wavemaker Conversations is a place where curiosity meets hope.  Humor helps pave the road.
