Living Between Worlds: Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times - Paperback

by James Hollis (Author)

Join a Veteran Depth Psychologist and Philosopher on the Search for Paths to Deeper Meaning, Purpose, and Fulfillment

How did we get to this crossroads in history? And how will we make it through--individually and as a species? "We all assumed that learning, rationality, and good intentions would be enough to bring us to the promised land," says Dr. James Hollis. "But they haven't and won't. Yet what we also do not recognize is that the human animal is equipped for survival. In time, we grow large enough to contain what threatened to destroy us."

In Living Between Worlds, the renowned Jungian broadens his lens to encompass the relationship between our inner struggles and the rapidly shifting realities of modern human existence. Here, you will invoke the tools of depth psychology, classical literature, philosophy, dreamwork, and myth to gain access to the resources that supported our ancestors through their darkest hours.

Though our current challenges may be unique, finding a way forward has always come through our measureless capacity for creativity, wisdom, and connection to a reality larger than ourselves. In Living Between Worlds, you won't find easy answers or pat reassurances--but you will discover always-available sources of hope and support.
