{"product_id":"9780465062966","title":"Momma And The Meaning Of Life: Tales From Psychotherapy","description":"As the public grows disillusioned with therapeutic quick fixes, people are looking for a deeper psychotherapeutic experience to make life more meaningful and satisfying. What really happens in therapy? What promises and perils does it hold for them?No one writes about therapy - or indeed the dilemmas of the human condition - with more acuity, style, and heart than Irvin Yalom. Here he combines the storytelling skills so widely praised in \u003ci\u003eLove's Executioner\u003c\/i\u003e with the wisdom of the compassionate and fully engaged psychotherapist.In these six compelling tales of therapy, Yalom introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters: Paula, who faces death and stares it down; Magnolia, into whose ample lap Yalom longs to pour his own sorrows; Irene, who learns to seek out anger and plunge into it. And there's Momma, old-fashioned, ill-tempered, who drifts into Yalom's dreams and tramples through his thoughts. At once wildly entertaining and deeply thoughtful, Momma and the Meaning of Life is a work of rare insight and imagination.","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121881530608,"sku":"9780465062966","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780465062966_p0.jpg?v=1763706232","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780465062966","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
