520    "Bestselling writer and psychotherapist Irvin D. Yalom 
       puts himself on the couch in a lapidary memoir Irvin D. 
       Yalom has made a career of investigating the lives of 
       others. In this profound memoir, he turns his writing and 
       his therapeutic eye on himself. He opens his story with a 
       nightmare: He is twelve, and is riding his bike past the 
       home of an acne-scarred girl. Like every morning, he calls
       out, hoping to befriend her, "Hello Measles!" But in his 
       dream, the girl's father makes Yalom understand that his 
       daily greeting had hurt her. For Yalom, this was the birth
       of empathy; he would not forget the lesson. As Becoming 
       Myself unfolds, we see the birth of the insightful thinker
       whose books have been a beacon to so many. This is not 
       simply a man's life story, Yalom's reflections on his life
       and development are an invitation for us to reflect on the
       origins of our own selves and the meanings of our lives"--
