Description

Adulthood is often assumed to be a state of stability, but in reality, it can be a time of growth and transformation. As we navigate the challenges of life, we may find ourselves questioning our choices and feeling stuck. This is a common experience, known as the "midlife crisis," which can occur between the ages of thirty-five and seventy.

According to James Hollis, a Jungian psycho-analyst, it is only in the second half of life that we can truly come to know who we are and create a life that has meaning. In "Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life," Hollis explores ways to grow and evolve, helping us to uncover and embrace our authentic selves.

This book offers reassurance and guidance for anyone facing a career that no longer seems fulfilling, a long-term relationship that has shifted, or family transitions that raise issues of aging and mortality. It provides a crucial bridge across this critical passage of adult development, helping us to find meaning and purpose in our lives.
