Review: At the age of 82, James Hollis continues to provide deeper insight into the human psyche & the need for inner growth. And as with his recent books, in A LIFE OF MEANING he opens up a little more personally than in his past, which I both appreciate & find illuminating. Yet he doesn't do this to make the book about himself. No, it's to show his readers that he's still going through the process of growth & enlarging his view of life just as much as he advises us to do. He's not already at the top of the mountain, he's still climbing it with the rest of us. It's simply that he's been at it a long time & has been trained for it, so he can offer us advice & support drawn from his own trek. Please note, I only said advise—the choices we make (or don't make) with that advice are still our own, as are our stumbling blocks & advances. He's not telling or ordering us what to do in these pages. He's only drawing on his own experience to remind us that we've all got to do the hard inner work—sometimes with professional help, sometimes on our own. That's the only way we can find or make meaning that actually matters to & for us. Meaning—now, there's the key word. We can see how many people are desperately searching for meaning, all too often in the wrong places & for the wrong goals. As Hollis says plainly, meaning is not the same as happiness. Yes, happiness is lovely when it comes ... but it's also fleeting. Savor it whenever you have it, but don't set unending happiness with trouble of doubt as your goal. You won't get it. As William Blake wrote: He who binds to himself a joy Does the winged life destroy He who kisses the joy as it flies Lives in eternity's sunrise And where does joy come from? In meaning—in that inner sense of rightness that can't quite be put into words, but that can be felt as something real & something true. And while it can sometimes come as a gift of grace, it's much more common to have to do the work of opening a space for it within ourselves. That's where the Jungian approach is so helpful, as it enables us to slowly, often painfully, enlarge our lives & our self-knowledge—to become more authentically who we are & who we can be as human beings. For those familiar with Hollis' life-work, this comes as no revelation. It's a simple fact he's explored for decades ... but the point of returning to it as he does in this book is because knowing the words & even recognizing their truth isn't the same as living them. This is the work we are called to do as individual human beings. And Hollis, as always, is an excellent guide—just remember that while he can show us the trail & describe its perils, he can't walk it for us. We've got to do that ourselves. Most highly recommended!
Review: Really well written. Covers deeps psychology but it's fairly accessible. Highly recommend this book. It will help you understand yourself, your patterns and ultimately (as the tille suggests) understand what's missing in your life - why your life lacks meaning and what can be done about it. Buy this book and invest in yourself (or shall I say: your Self). Edit: what I have learned from this book that we already have all the resources needed to live a meaningful life. Very often on of those resources is: courage. And with that we can (and have to) confront our fears. Meaningful life is not for the faint hearted. Inner work is often required (a personal, honest enquiry). That needs to be followed by taking action. And being consistent and persistent. Only then a real change can occur.

I discovered this book while listening to a podcast on neuroscience. Glad to get it on time. The wisdom finely unfolded by the author offers a practical application for self-inquiry in human development. Very well-written style that truly connects with readers. The only cons: I would appreciate a larger font size and better-quality printing paper. But the content surpasses the form.
