A good excuse to explain and explore their theories in a very accessible way. (  ) alalba | May 9, 2009 |  Badly written, this novel did not appeal to me at all. The discussions between the dokter something and "his patient" were somewhat interesting, but the writing style throughout the book was way too sentimental. Such a bad writer. I must say it is one of the worst books I have ever finished. (  )1  hennis | Jan 27, 2009 | Eternal Recurrence - eternal recurrence means that every time you choose an action, you must be willing to choose it for ALL ETERNITY. ( ) notna2000 | Jan 25, 2009 | aesthetics psycology  Vivianna | Oct 8, 2008 | I only got interested on the reading after page 200, so you have to be very persistent on it. I read it until the end because I don't like giving up on books, but I feel like I wasted a lot of my time and my patience on this one. Boring, with freaking unecessary descriptions of sex from doctor Bauer. Read it only if you have no other choice (which I believe is not the case here).

| Book description |
|
In nineteenth-century Vienna, a drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment that defined the era. Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him.
When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure," Breuer never expects that he too will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient. In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense, to unfold an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship.
