January Book Club – A Matter of Life and Death

Join ICF NYC with Book Club host Rich Heller as we explore A Matter of Life and Death by by Marilyn Yalom, Jim Frangione, et al. and engage in a rich learning conversation.  

Internationally acclaimed psychiatrist and author Irvin Yalom devoted his career to counseling those suffering from anxiety and grief. But never had he faced the need to counsel himself until his wife, esteemed feminist author Marilyn Yalom, was diagnosed with cancer. In A Matter of Death and Life, Marilyn and Irv share how they took on profound new struggles: Marilyn to die a good death, Irv to live on without her.

In alternating accounts of their last months together and Irv’s first months alone, they offer us a rare window into facing mortality and coping with the loss of one’s beloved. The Yaloms had numerous blessings – a loving family, a Palo Alto home under a magnificent valley oak, a large circle of friends, avid readers around the world, and a long, fulfilling marriage – but they faced death as we all do. With the wisdom of those who have thought deeply and the familiar warmth of teenage sweethearts who’ve grown up together, they investigate universal questions of intimacy, love, and grief.

Informed by two lifetimes of experience, A Matter of Death and Life is an openhearted offering to anyone seeking support, solace, and a meaningful life.

About the ICF NYC Book Club:

The ICF NYC Book Club is an opportunity for attendees to delve deeper into their learning from the book and to share highlights from what they read, implications for their coaching practice, and more. Book club meetings are not book previews or presentations and active participation and contribution is expected from all attendees.

Come having read the book – in at least part if not full. Our Book Club meetings are lively, interactive discussions where attendees share highlights and key learnings from the month’s book, raise questions or points of disagreement, and share with each other potential applications for or experiences from their coaching practice. On the occasion when we are lucky enough to have an author join, we gain from their added perspective, but our Book Club meetings are joint learning and not presentations.

ICF NYC Breakfast and a Book Club is a benefit for chapter members. There is no charge to chapter members to attend, and participation earns 1 CCEU (type to be confirmed, typically a mix of Core Competency and Resource Development).

Meeting Guidelines:

The ICF NYC Book Club is an opportunity for attendees to delve deeper into their learning through conversation with their peers. Book club meetings are not book previews or presentations. Active participation and contribution is expected from all attendees.

Out of respect for our facilitator and other attendees, you are expected to have read the book, or at a minimum, significant portions of it, prior to attending so that meaning, intent and application may be discussed with depth. Familiarity with the content enables a much more meaningful exchange and conversation.

As with any virtual call, please be prepared to have your video and audio on, with limited distraction. Turn off all notifications.

In order to receive CCEU credit, you must be present and actively participate.

Come in your pajamas! We don’t care about how you look or if you’re munching, only the intellectual contribution you bring.

Meetings will be held consistently on the second Monday of each month at 8 AM (except where may be otherwise indicated).
