Description
In his powerful bestseller The Soul’s Code, James Hillman brilliantly illuminated the central importance of character to our spiritual and emotional lives. Now, in this magnificent new book, Hillman completes his exploration of character with a profound and revolutionary reflection on life’s second half.
“Character requires the additional years,” declares Hillman. “The last years confirm and fulfill character.” Far from blunting or dulling the self, the accumulation of experience concentrates the essence of our being, heightening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Drawing on his grounding in Jungian psychology, Hillman explains here the archetypes and myths that govern the self’s realignment in our final years.
Steeped in the wisdom of a lifetime, radiant with Hillman’s reading in philosophy, poetry, and sacred texts, charged with a piercing clarity, The Force of Character is a book that will change–and affirm–the lives of all who read it.
