Dr. Irvin Yalom: 50-Thousand Hours of Therapy

Dr. Irvin Yalom

From the Wavemaker Archives, this is my conversation with legendary psychoanalyst and best-selling author, Dr. Irvin Yalom. We discuss the healing value of staring death in the face, increasing one’s fulfillment through “rippling,” falling in love v standing in love, humor, and, finally, the essential question: what is the more effective way to cope with existential anxiety: sex or writing?

With cameo appearances from Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Carol Dweck.
