Book Introduction
Because humans exist, they die.
A wise confrontation with the inescapable fear of death


There is someone who looks shabby and someone who is wearing clothes that cost more than the average Korean's annual salary.
Although their lifestyles are somewhat different, they all have one thing in common.
It is death.
Death is given equally to a man who has a fortune, to a criminal who acts as if he has given up on being human, and to a hero who saves many people through good deeds.
French writer La Rochefoucauld said that facing death is like looking straight into the sun.

It is not easy to stare at death, just as it is not easy to look straight at the dazzling sun.
But is it the right attitude to avoid facing the inevitable out of fear? Dr. Yalom synthesizes his personal experience, counseling clients, and the ideas of various influential authors to present a method for overcoming death anxiety in "Facing the Sun."
Since death is an existential fear we all share, we cannot help but wonder how we can overcome this anxiety by facing it rather than denying or avoiding it.

This fascinating book consists of seven chapters, a review, and a reading guide.
The doctor explains that humans, who cannot help but have a process of non-existence because they exist, can suffer from neuroticism if they deny it.
To support this explanation, I present the healing process of a client suffering from death anxiety, helping him, through his intellectual world, to grasp the true nature of the human condition, its finitude, and its short time in the light.
We hope that Dr. Yalom's sincere advice and exploration of death anxiety will help you face death and its fears and enjoy a deeper sense of existential emotion.
