Sounds True Publishing has always been one of my favorites places to look to for helpful books that help me grow. This book is no exception. The author, James Hollis, does an excellent job of bringing several resources and his own thoughts together for this book on navigating life during these uncertain times.
While I did find the book a lot to grasp in one sitting, I'm sure I will refer to it again.
The authors states that times are troubled and we increasingly find that our values and thus our road maps are less sure or even ˋdisappeared´. This is his definition of ˋin between ´ world. Hollis uses his vast experience in depth psychology to find meaning for our life and thus resilience to endure our journey. He uses enlightened examples from literature, Hamlet, Iphigenie and other poets or philosophers to underline his arguments. The writing is concise with clarity for such complex issues. Questions throughout the book guide the reader to reflect and hopefully come closer the the real self behind the Ego. While this is not a book which I could grasp in one reading, I will refer to it over and over again, I made copious notes to meditate upon and can only recommend this erudite book for anyone in search for meaning in today’s in- between world.
