Verena Kast refers to Sisyphus as the myth of the forty-year-olds who often experience their
lot in life to be a Sisyphus task. Are our human efforts all in vain or is there some meaning
to be found? In the end it is a struggle with death itself.Verena Kast deals with a problem
that also fascinated Nietzsche and Freud. _ This book is packed with down-to-earth experience
clinical anecdotes wit and insight. - Murray Stein
