Synopsis
"Ask yourself, 'When do I feel most real?' What comes up on the screen? All of us have had moments in our lives when we felt whole or wholly present, or experienced a sense of well-being, an intuition of a higher order of reality. Such moments are transitory, alas, and cannot be summoned up by will or mind or right conduct, just as the person who seeks humility finds more and more that pride and one-sidedness push the goal further and further away." - excerpt from Creating A Life

Customer Reviews

An inspiring read
This is not a conventional self help book. It raises more questions than it answers. But it asks these questions of the Self. It is an inspiring read for anyone who is looking for "the life the gods intended us to have" (Page151). The author is a graduate of the Jung Institute in Zurich and he writes with compassion for and an understanding of the human struggle for individuation. I would recommend it to anyone who is genuinely interested in finding their individual path. Thank you James Hollis.

Naught for your comfort
This book is one of the least comforting but most helpful I've ever read.

It examines what brings us into conflict with ourselves, and the very difficult route to make that conflict mean something.

It's worth buying for the advice about trying to become a "happy carrot" alone.
