Finding Meaning

Turbulent emotional changes that occur throughout adulthood and are accompanied by questions about the correctness of the choices we have made, about the realization of our potential, and a sense of stagnation, are usually referred to as a "midlife crisis." In this book, renowned Jungian analyst James Hollis explores how we can continue our development and draw closer to our own essence when traditional age roles – professional, friendly, familial – no longer serve this purpose. Through examples and provocative observations, wise and encouraging messages are formulated to help us overcome the acute phase of the second half of life.
