James Hollis

The Jungian analyst author of the best-selling The Middle Passage and The Eden Project describes the sometimes difficult emotional process of transitioning into the second half of life, counseling readers on how to discover career fulfillment, renew a stagnating relationship, face mortality, and more. Reprint. 30,000 first printing.

Creating a Life is a powerful commentary on the importance of the examined life, illustrating how we may come to an understanding of our life choices and relationships by exploring our core complexes and personal history. With insight and compassion Hollis elucidates the circuitous way of individuation.

A timely and thought-provoking corrective to the generalized fantasies about relationships that permeate Western culture. This is not a practical guide on how to fix a relationship, but rather a challenge to greater personal responsibility, a call for individual growth as opposed to seeking rescue through others. James Hollis, Ph.D., is the acclaimed author of The Middle Passage, Under Saturn´s Shadow and Swamplands of the Soul.

Title #59. Why do so many go through so much disruption in their middle years? Why then? Why do we consider it to be a crisis? What does the pattern mean and how can we survive it? The Middle Passage shows how we may pass through midlife consciously, rendering our lives more meaningful and the second half of life immeasurably richer.
