I am listening to the audiobook without benefit of the hard copy, so let me record here the four existential givens (from the introduction), according to Yalom:
(1) Death
(2) Freedom
(3) Essential aloneness
(4) Lack of intrinsic meaning to our lives

I see I didn't need to order it. There's a PDF on Google Books -- maybe the whole book. ...Well, I don't care. Love getting books in the mail. Less than the price of a greeting card. :)
Enjoying this book mainly as stories.
Reminds me of a book I've referenced off & on, The Fifty-Minute Hour, although, who knows, may be very different, since I read it so long ago.
Found that one on my shelf, & can see for myself.

Guestimate: in the 1st quarter.
I have the audiobook, "free" from Audible (i.e., included w/my subscription). There are some problems with the product, not the narration per se but the production, so that it moves forward like a train w/no brakes/breaks between sections, not even the chapter names. Had to go to Google Books to get those. Inexpensive used book is on the way to me now! 🙂

...but better once he gets into the stories...
Yes, stories. Reminding me of The Fifty-Minute Hour, from the 1950s. :)

This is a book that Audible.com "included" with my subscription. This turns out to mean on the brink of being eliminated, such that several "included" books have become "no longer available." So--time to crank up this one lest it go away.
The narrator reads well but in the intro, I thought he was reading without thinking...plunging ahead like rolling down a hill...something didn't sound right so maybe skipped a line
