Insight from the Anima herself
James Hollis again provides a super analysis on midlife. This alongside Through the Dark Wood are amazing must reads for anyone trying to get a grip on their psychological life. I too have a lost a child who died suddenly after being run over at 3 years old and his books have given me incredible solace that no grief councillor could ever provide. Thank you. And the books are read wonderfully by Dr Hollis.

Truly life changing. You must read this book.
I found this book through Audible, searching for "mid life". James Hollis, (Ph.D) explains, in the most powerful sense imaginable why we struggle so much in mid life, and how we can use that suffering as the fuel for changing our entire conception of ourselves, others, our world and the very essence of life itself. While also illuminating how we might find true meaning in life. If I was only able to ever read one book in my life this would be my choice. I can not recommend this book highly enough. I have 153 audio books in my audible account, and this is the first review I ever submitted. The printed book (smaller than I imagined), is also available on Amazon, I recommend that as well as it is great to read the numerous poetic passages the author also refers to, and for ease of noting down the many powerful points the author makes. The book is narrated by the author and the narration is world class. Congratulations on finding this audio book, if you are at a stage in your life where you are looking to move forward through mid life (regardless of your actual age), you have found the best place to start right here. This book is a true gift to humanity.

Excellent Reminder
In gentle tones, our host offers us on deep reflection on the middle years, or ‘second adulthood’. It made me want to leap up and start living more fully. Embracing life and the inevitability of death in order to experience true freedom. Inspiring stuff.

Essential reading
Excellent book and still as urgent and relevant as ever. James Hollis’s entire bibliography is worth looking into as the different books help analyse different aspects of our journey. This one, his first, is a classic and sets the high standard for his later work.

Amazing from start to finish. The familiar & the eye opening of aha moments & clarifies why we do what we do & how to move forwards from it.

interesting but no practical advice
really great book to read. I though wishe there were more practical advice in chapter 6. There are only few reference to Jung practices.

Every sentence touches deeply
I was hoping a book like this would come along for a while now. I feel like I've done so much work on myself over the years and this book is almost like my own inner voice making sense of life. beautiful writing, almost like a symphony of the soul.

Love it
A lot of wisdom, an amazing book. It gave me a lot to think about. Some phrases I wrote down and I will need to come back to it again to fully comprehend
