This is what he tries to do in this substantial book, a book of tips, long on technique & short on theory (as Yalom himself says).Each "tip" that Yalom gives comes from years of experience & in most cases, makes perfect sense. He mentions turning 70 years old, which has made him feel a need to "pass on" his knowledge & some of his experience to younger generations of therapists & patients. From the very first page of the introduction, Yalom's writing is gripping & right to the point. This is the latest book by Irvin Yalom, whose books I've been following over the years.
