In this book, Professor Yallon recalls some important moments in his life, some of which were turning points, some of which were full of glory, and some of which remained unknown and open. But one thing in common is that we can glimpse from the text the fear and conflict that this old man experienced over the years, and how he bloomed flowers of meaning from the dust of life. If we say that existential therapy is a spiritual technique, this seems to underestimate Professor Yaron's rich academic background. However, if we say that existentialism is a specific operation method, this seems to have lost its smart philosophical background. I prefer to regard existential therapy as "Tao", and reading these theories and Professor Yaron's growth story evokes human resonance that even transcends the professional field.
