Meaning in Suffering: Lessons from Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich
from The Created Mind · host Ashley Hageman, LPC
In this episode, I discuss the classic book by Leo Tolstoy, The Death of Ivan Ilyich. The main character’s descent into illness and eventual death forces him to face up to his suffering, his fear of death and the true meaning his life should have had. This beautiful piece of literature offers much to be gleaned for those facing their own crises of meaning.____Sermon on the Beatitudes Understanding Psychology from a Christian Perspective E-Course: https://www.udemy.com/course/psychology-and-christianity/?referralCode=19B7AF26377BF0C154ADMusic by Douglas Hageman https://doughageman.bandcamp.com/ This is a public episode.
