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 the "midlife crisis." In this book, renowned Jungian analyst James Hollis explores how we can continue our development and get closer to our own essence when traditional age roles – professional, friendly, family – no longer meet this task. Through individual case studies and provocative observations, wise and encouraging messages are formulated that can help us get through the acute phase of the second half of life.
