Irvin Yalom

Irvin Yalom called meaninglessness the fourth ultimate concern of human existence. Why it can't be solved, and what changes when you stop trying. Irvin Yalom, the existential psychiatrist, identified four ultimate concerns at the centre of human life: death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness. This episode is about the fourth, and about why the contemporary "meaning crisis" tends to misread what Yalom actually meant. The episode works through Tolstoy's collapse at the height of his success, the structure of Yalom's four givens, the difference between Yalom and Viktor Frankl on whether meaning can be sought directly, and what Yalom called the engagement paradox: that the act of searching for meaning is part of what holds it off. It ends where the problem actually lives, with what it means to go on in the presence of the fourth given rather than to solve it. Drawing on Yalom's Existential Psychotherapy , Tolstoy's A Confession , Frankl's logotherapy, and passing through Camus, Heidegger, and Buber. This is a narrated essay from Fractured Self, a project on identity, meaning, and the forces that fracture the self under modern conditions. No resolution is offered, because the subject does not have one. 00:00 Tolstoy at fifty 02:31 The four givens 04:45 Meaninglessness, the fourth given 07:29 Frankl and the search for meaning 09:59 The trap of looking for meaning 12:31 Engagement as the response 16:21 Why the engagement answer gets misread 21:04 Living with the fourth given https://www.fracturedself.com

At the end of Michael’s first Wavemaker Conversation with psychiatrist Irvin Yalom, in 2015, Michael extracted a promise: that Dr. Yalom would join him for another conversation after Yalom completed his memoir. Two years later, Dr. Yalom released his memoir, and kept his promise. Irvin Yalom is a highly esteemed psychoanalyst, with a large, devoted following; a Professor Emeritus at Stanford University; and a best-selling author. Among his most influential books is “Staring At The Sun: Overcoming the Terror of Death.” Michael is bringing this conversation with Dr. Yalom and the previous one (entitled 50,000 Hours Of Therapy) out of the Wavemaker archives because he hopes and believes that they will provide fuel for a fulfilling 2026. https://wavemaker.me

Oh, what some people would give to have just one therapy session with Dr. Irvin Yalom. Dr. Yalom is a legendary figure in modern psychotherapy and a best-selling author. Over half a century, he has spent roughly 50,000 hours working with patients, and many more researching, writing, and teaching at Stanford University. During this conversation, he shared with me what he has taught his patients, and what they have taught him, about how to cope with the fear, or terror, of our own mortality — how staring at the inevitability of death can help us live richer lives. We also discuss what he considers to be the value of regret; the power of humor; standing in love versus falling in love; whether sex or writing is the more effective way to deal with existential anxiety; and much more. Yalom was 84 when we had this conversation in 2015. I’ve pulled it out of the Wavemaker archives now, as we approach the new year — a time for empowering reflection. https://wavemaker.me

Hey guys, welcome back to The Mind Mate Podcast! I'm your host, Tom Ahern, and in today's episode, we're diving deep into the fascinating world of psychotherapy through the eyes of two legendary figures: Carl Rogers and Irvin Yalom. Carl Rogers, the mastermind behind client-centred therapy, has revolutionised the way we think about the therapeutic process. One of his most famous quotes is, "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Today, we'll explore how Rogers' emphasis on unconditional positive regard, empathy, and authenticity creates a nurturing environment where clients can truly thrive and discover their genuine selves. On the flip side, we have Irvin Yalom, a pioneer in existential psychotherapy, who brings a unique perspective on the human condition. Yalom's approach is deeply rooted in addressing fundamental human concerns like death, freedom, isolation, and meaning. He beautifully encapsulates his philosophy with the quote, "The therapist is the fellow traveler, not a master or superior; the aim is to guide the patient on a journey of self-discovery." We'll discuss how his collaborative and humanistic approach helps individuals navigate their existential journeys.In this episode, I'll be breaking down the core principles of both Rogers' and Yalom's therapeutic goals, and how their insights can help us achieve greater self-understanding, acceptance, and fulfilment. Whether you're a therapist, a psychology enthusiast, or someone keen on personal growth, this episode is packed with valuable insights and inspiration.So, sit back, relax, and join me as we uncover the transformative potential of therapy with the wisdom of Carl Rogers and Irvin Yalom. *** The Mind Mate podcast provides listeners with tools and ideas to get to know themselves.
