I LOVE IRVING YALOM!!!!!!!

[renumeratedfrog]

Interesting mannerism. I wonder how he would analyze himself with all those constant hand gestures, and avoiding of eye contact.

While I find this topic interesting and pertinent, I was distracted by the fact that watching the speakers for a few minutes made me consider fates worse than death....
