About This Book

In Staring at the Sun, renowned psychiatrist Irvin D. Yalom explores humanity’s deepest fear—our mortality—arguing that death anxiety underlies much of human distress. Through personal stories, therapeutic insights, and philosophical reflection, he shows how confronting the inevitability of death can redirect priorities, deepen relationships, and enrich life. Facing our fears, Yalom suggests, helps us live more authentically and meaningfully with courage and compassion.
