A Masterful Author and Jungian Analyst Examines the Qualities that
Bring Meaning to Our Human Journey
What is it that brings meaning to your life? Our culture tells us to
seek wealth, power, prestige, or even enrollment in someone else's idea
of a worthy cause--yet where do we turn when these myths fail to fulfill
our need for purpose? "When the old stories and beliefs that once
defined us have played out and grown exhausted," teaches Dr. James
Hollis, "our task is to access our inner compass, the promptings of the
psyche that help us find our way through the complex thickets of
choice."
A Life of Meaning is a profound audio exploration of the nature of
meaning and how we can orient toward it or away from it with the choices
we make. Through examination of myth, literature, historical figures,
and the wisdom of depth psychology, Hollis provides penetrating insight
into the search for purpose. Here you'll explore:
- How our story-seeking mind forms our sense of meaning from early
experience
- Why these early stories inevitably fail as we are called to our own
path
- Skillfully accessing the inner oracle of your dreams
- Shadow work--where we fear to tread, yet where our greatest treasures
may be found
- Missing the mark--examining the archetype of the Seven Deadly Sins
through a psychological lens
- Dispelling the "ghosts" that haunt our memories and possess our
psyche
- Finding personal resilience in times of internal and external change
- Living more fully in the presence of our mortality
In A Life of Meaning, James Hollis offers no easy answers or feel-good
certainties--instead, he shares his most valuable questions and
reflections to help you find the courage, persistence, and inspiration
to navigate your own odyssey. "It's humbling work, this process of
getting our lives back," he teaches. "Yet I submit to you that's worth
the price of the ticket, for in the journey our lives become ever more
luminous."
