When Death Becomes the Greatest Teacher
What happens when a renowned psychotherapist discovers he has terminal cancer? For Julius Hertzfeld, this devastating diagnosis becomes a profound wake-up call. At 65, with less than a year to live, Julius embarks on a journey to evaluate his life's work and legacy. His quest leads him to Philip Slate, a former patient he considers his greatest failure. After three years of unsuccessful therapy for sexual addiction, Philip disappeared-only to resurface years later as a philosophical counselor devoted to the teachings of Arthur Schopenhauer, the pessimistic 19th-century philosopher. Their unexpected reunion sets in motion a complex relationship that challenges both men's fundamental beliefs about healing, human connection, and the meaning of life itself. As Julius confronts his mortality, he invites Philip to join his therapy group, creating a crucible where philosophy meets psychology, and where each character must face their deepest fears and desires.
