A Matter of Death and Life

A Matter of Death and Life by Irvin Yalom offers reflections on mortality and the meaning of life through existential therapy and clinical stories. The author examines how the fear of death influences people's decisions, relationships and behaviour, and how awareness of life's limits can lead to a more conscious and meaningful life.

The book combines psychotherapeutic theory with real patient stories, offering examples of existential reflection and coping with personal crises. It is a useful guide for psychologists, therapists, psychology students and readers who want to better understand the nature of life and mortality.
