Schopenhauer as a medicine. Psychotherapeutic stories. Yalom I.

An experienced psychotherapist Julius learns that he is mortally ill. His days are numbered, and in the last year of his life, he decides to correct a long mistake and cure the patient with whom he crashed twenty years ago. Philip-a philosopher by profession and a misanthrope by vocation-plans to engage in "philosophical counseling" and treat people with the philosophy of Schopenhauer-as he once cured himself. These two encounter a psychotherapeutic group and change beyond recognition in a year. One is learning to die. Another learns to live. The “general rehearsal of life”, which comes in the group, is indistinguishable from life, is equally exciting and also full of surprises.
