James Hollis, Ph.D.
- From
- bestselling
- author
- and
- Jungian
- psychoanalyst
- Dr.
- James
- Hollis
- comes
- a
- new
- collection
- of
- essays
- exploring
- life’s
- challenges
- and
- celebrating
- evolving
- questions
- on
- life’s
- mysterious
- journey.In
- a
- world
- seemingly
- set
- up
- for
- distraction,
- life
- can
- often
- feel
- like
- it’s
- dividing
- you
- not
- only
- from
- others
- but
- also
- from
- yourself.
- Yet
- even
- within
- the
- cacophony
- of
- life,
- deep
- down
- you
- can
- intuit
- your
- own
- soul,
- that
- part
- of
- you
- that
- knows
- you
- better
- than
- you
- know
- yourself,
- and
- that
- offers
- direction
- and
- moments
- of
- solace,
- even
- amid
- uncertainty.This
- disconnect
- from
- your
- inner
- source
- of
- guidance
- leads
- to
- self-doubt,
- but
- in
- Living
- with
- Borrowed
- Dust,
- Hollis
- provides
- a
- reminder
- that
- you
- carry
- within
- what
- you’re
- so
- anxiously
- looking
- for
- from
- a
- crazed
- world.
- “Behind
- the
- noise
- and
- beneath
- the
- surface,
- something
- in
- the
- soul
- of
- each
- of
- us
- cries
- out,”
- he
- says.
- “While
- we
- may
- be
- distracted
- from
- this
- summons,
- the
- soul
- keeps
- asking
- that
- we
- pay
- attention.”
- These
- summonses
- come
- to
- us
- through
- symptoms,
- dreams,
- and
- restless
- nights.
- Gaining
- insight
- into
- these
- inner
- callings,
- the
- meaning
- within
- our
- challenges,
- and
- the
- courage
- it
- takes
- to
- move
- through
- our
- journey
- can
- help
- us
- feel
- better
- connected
- through
- difficult
- times.
- Here,
- Hollis
- reveals
- tools
- you
- can
- utilize
- to
- engage
- in
- this
- conversation
- with
- the
- soul.In
- this
- collection
- of
- essays,
- readers
- are
- guided
- to
- reflect
- deeply
- on
- questions
- that
- explore
- and
- celebrate
- life's
- challenges
- in
- our
- evolving
- world,
- including
- how
- happiness
- is
- attained,
- how
- to
- approach
- your
- dreams,
- the
- divided
- soul
- of
- America,
- the
- fear
- and
- fascination
- with
- death,
- and
- the
- conflict
- between
- good
- and
- evil.
- With
- each
- new
- insight,
- Hollis
- aims
- to
- steer
- you
- toward
- an
- individual,
- self-determining
- path,
- zeroing
- in
- on
- the
- need
- for
- personal
- accountability
- and
- decisive
- growth.
- Using
- analytic
- psychology
- as
- a
- vehicle

- recovery
- of
- a
- spiritual
- life
- in

- secular
- age,
- you’ll
- find
- inspiration
- for
- reconnecting
- with
- deep
- wisdom,
