In his long career, eminent psychotherapist and author Irvin Yalom has pressed his patients and readers to grapple with life's two greatest challenges: that we all must die, and that each of us is responsible for leading a life worth living. In Creatures of a Day, he and his patients confront the difficulty of these challenges. Although these people have come to Yalom seeking relief, recognition, or meaning, they discover that such things are rarely found in the places where we think to look.
Like Love's Executioner and Yalom's other writings, Creatures of a Day lays bare the necessary task we each face every day: to make our own lives meaningful.
Irvin D. Yalom, MD, is an emeritus professor of psychiatry at Stanford University and a psychiatrist in private practice in San Francisco. He is the author of many books, including Love’s Executioner, Theory and Practice in Group Psychotherapy, and Creatures of a Day. He lives with his wife in Palo Alto, California.
Traber Burns worked for thirty-five years in regional theater and has appeared in many television productions and commercials, including Lost, Without a Trace, Grey’s Anatomy, Cold Case, Gilmore Girls, and others.

“Novelist and psychiatrist Yalom offers ten tales from his clients that illuminate the gifts of psychotherapy, particularly the hopeful lessons one can glean from it in the context of aging and death…Yalom…has genuinely inspiring insights to share about the value of therapy.”
“Poignant and beautiful insights from a wise therapist looking back on a career, a therapist who happens to be a writer I greatly admire—Creatures of a Day is just what the doctor ordered!”
“Yalom is the Scheherazade of the couch, his work a marvelous exercise in storytelling.”
