When Dreams Return After Seventy Years
At 85, Irvin Yalom wakes at 3 a.m., weeping from a dream. He's a young boy again, cruelly greeting a girl with measles, only to face her father's quiet confrontation about his thoughtlessness. This wasn't just a dream-it was a memory from 73 years earlier, a moment of callousness he'd never forgotten. Here lies the essence of Yalom's entire life: a brilliant psychiatrist whose career centered on empathy, human connection, and confronting the existential truths that shape us all. This opening to his memoir captures something profound. We carry our cruelties, our regrets, our moments of shame across decades. They resurface when we least expect them, reminding us that becoming ourselves is never finished-it's a lifelong reckoning with who we've been and who we're still becoming. Yalom's work has transformed modern psychotherapy precisely because he never forgot that young boy's thoughtlessness, never stopped examining his own humanity while helping others examine theirs.
