.

An ordinary psychotherapist Julius Hertzfeld learns that he has been diagnosed with melanoma and has no more than a year to live. Having fundamentally rethought his past, he suddenly decides to find out how the lives of those patients whom he was unable to help turned out. In particular, the life of Philip Slate, a sexually obsessed sociopathic chemist. During the meeting, Julius realises that Philip managed to heal himself thanks to the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer. Now the doctor and the patient are, in a sense, switching places.

"Yalom's enthusiasm is contagious. And he certainly knows how to tell a compelling story."
