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.

It started slow but very clear point in the end
It took me an hour to be drawn in the story. I wondered if it was just entertainment or whether it would also learn me a life lesson, but because I was intrigued to learn about Nietzsche I listened on. It was only in the last hours of the book that it clicked for me what the most important lesson is that Nietzsche tries to learn us, but even though Nietzsche is pretty complex the story made it crystal clear to me. For that I am very grateful to the author.
