Publisher's Summary
In 19th-century Vienna, a drama of love, fate, and will is played out amid the intellectual ferment that defined the era.
Josef Breuer, one of the founding fathers of psychoanalysis, is at the height of his career. Friedrich Nietzsche, Europe's greatest philosopher, is on the brink of suicidal despair, unable to find a cure for the headaches and other ailments that plague him. When he agrees to treat Nietzsche with his experimental "talking cure", Breuer never expects that he, too, will find solace in their sessions. Only through facing his own inner demons can the gifted healer begin to help his patient.
In When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin Yalom blends fact and fiction, atmosphere and suspense to unfold an unforgettable story about the redemptive power of friendship.

Finally, Nietzsche weeps…
Wow this audio book really engaged me from the beginning due to its fascinating characters and situations beyond ordinary concerns, as well as the superb narration which was clear and well pitched. I wondered about my chuckling at some of what seemed like clichéd Freudian sex and death worries, but hey the story propelled me to discovering why and when Nietzsche finally weeps… quite an intellectual thriller with soapie touches.

Simply Beautiful
As a training Psychotherapist, this book has been invaluable. I wanted to specialise in Existentialism anyway however this is now cemented for me.
The reading and story were simply wonderful and I will be recommending it to my entire class.

Remarkable psycho fiction!
It was the second time that I was reading/ listening to this magnificent book. The first time I read a copy which had been translated into Persian. I was curious to read the original version, so I did and I cannot say how much I enjoyed and learned again.
Thank Audible and the narrator. Highly recommended.

Wonderful
Brilliantly conceived, this is a great “teaching novel “ by the extraordinarily accomplished therapist Irvin Yalom. If you want to learn about existential philosophy, psychotherapy and navigating the human condition in order to create a more meaningful life, read this highly enjoyable book.

A intriguing and enlightening story
Yalom takes a unique look at the how Nietzsche would have developed psychoanalysis with real historical characters like Freud and Brewer. This novel for anyone who is interested in psychotherapy or even just the human condition how we develop relationships. The way we can heal our souls through open honest self introspection.
