IRVIN YALOM--WHOSE BOOKS HAVE SOLD MORE THAN FIVE MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE
"Always enlightening and often quite moving."--Washington Post
"One of America's finest therapists guides us through one of life's most challenging tasks in this profoundly helpful book. It will benefit anyone who reads it."--Rabbi Harold Kushner, author, When Bad Things Happen to Good People
"Staring at the Sun looks experientially and psychodynamically at our deepest fear and describes with uncommon eloquence and deep humanity how we may arrive at a form of peace. The book is witty and kind and unflinching, a generous meditation that shows us not how to defeat our fear but how to become wise enough to tolerate it. It should give comfort to the dying and to those they leave behind."--Andrew Solomon, author, The Noonday Demon, winner of the National Book Award
"Although written from a psychotherapeutic perspective, this thoughtful treatment of the ultimate fear has much to offer people of faith. This is a wise book by a wise man about the most taboo of all subjects. Read it, and fear not."--Dr. Robin Meyers, minister of Mayflower UCC Church of Oklahoma City, professor of rhetoric in the philosophy department at Oklahoma City University, and author, Why the Christian Right Is Wrong
"Irvin Yalom has written a brave, intelligent book on the last forbidden subject--death. I honor his courage and rare insight."--Erica Jong, author, Fear of Flying, Shylock's Daughter, Inventing Memory, and Sappho's Leap
"Yalom is the Scheherazade of the couch."--Laura Miller, New York Times
