Description

The Force of Character And the Lasting Life by James Hillman explores the significance of character in our spiritual and emotional lives. As we age, our experiences concentrate the essence of our being, deepening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Hillman examines the three stages of aging: lasting, leaving, and left, revealing the archetypes and myths that govern our self's realignment in our final years. He also explores the meanings behind characteristic physical and emotional changes, such as loss of memory and alterations in sleep patterns. This book is a profound reflection on life's second half, offering a new perspective on aging and its impact on our lives. With Hillman's grounding in Jungian psychology and his reading in philosophy, poetry, and sacred texts, The Force of Character is a thought-provoking work that will change and affirm the lives of all who read it.
