Creating a Life

"Creating a Life" is a powerful series of commentaries on the importance of the examined life, illustrating how we may arrive at an understanding of our life choices and relationships by exploring our core complexes and personal history. With insight and compassion grounded in the humanist side of analytical psychology, Hollis elucidates the circuitous way of individuation. The text is deeply enriched by the inclusion of poems and excerpts from the works of modern writers ( including John Fowles, Rilke, D.H. Lawrence, Pascal and Kierkegaard).
