Episode 274: Cancer cures neurosis

"Cancer cures neurosis," is a quote from the great
psychotherapist, Irvin Yalom, who (like me) got his start as a
psychologist working with cancer patients. Among other things, he
meant that a real problem tends to put things in perspective for
folks. In this episode, I discuss how the core of neurosis is
conflating a fake problem with a real problem, and how those who
are actively dying tend to get very busy living.
