Living an Examined Life: Wisdom for the Second Half of the Journey by James Holl

Description: Living an Examined Life by James Hollis Dr. James Hollis distills key instructions for finding meaning in the second half of life from his 40 years of teaching, lecturing, and treating patients as a Jungian analyst.

Sample topics include: Recover Personal Authority; Step Out from Under the Parental Shade; What Gift Have You Been Withholding from the World?; Choose Meaning over Happiness; Honor the Difference between Job, Duty, and Calling; and Bestow Love on the Unlovable Parts of You.

Review "Living the Examined Life is a gift of rare gold: the accumulated logos of a life lived deeply and fully, generously shared and beautifully crafted. James Hollis bridges profound psychological insight and practical application. Joyously, this book dares us to go beyond the ordinary, acknowledgement of the terrors of the adventure before us, yet promising--like a loyal, loving, trusty Sherpa--to accompany us as we navigate the difficult terrain of authentic personal growth. This is the book to have as a fellow traveler--Socratic interrogator, wise friend, loving teacher, mindful mentor." --Martin Lloyd-Elliott, psychologist, psychotherapist, author"This book represents the distillation of a lifetimes accumulated wisdom. The reader is sure to find helpful guidance for lifes perplexities and warm companionship on the way." --Lionel Corbett, professor at Pacifica Graduate Institute"Nobody writes about the challenges of creating a meaningful life with as much wisdom and warmth as James Hollis. This book is an extraordinary gift to all of us grappling with the second half of life--free of all platitudes and false comforts, but full of sustenance, humor, and tools for navigating the journey." --Oliver Burkeman, columnist for the Guardian and author of The Antidote: Happiness for People Who Cant Stand Positive Thinking"This is a book full of gems. Some are wise, some are deep, some are precious. Still others are even funny and others self-evident. Yet every one of them is necessary and belongs to the whole. As if James Hollis had scanned the inner landscape of us all, himself included, to produce a necklace of human truths from every part of the psyche, including the wondrous, the normal, and the dire. Reading him is to be reminded that it is possible to be fully human because, and not in spite of, our full part of light and shadow." --Jan Bauer, Jungian analyst and author of Impossible Love: Or Why the Heart Must Go Wrong Review Quote " Living the Examined Life is a gift of rare gold: the accumulated logos of a life lived deeply and fully, generously shared and beautifully crafted.
