We assume that once we get it together with the right job marry the right person have children and buy a home all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the age of thirty-five and seventy when we question the choices we've made realise our limitations and feel stuck - commonly known as the midlife crisis. Jungian psychoanalyst James Hollis believes it is only in the second half of life that we can truly come to know who we are and thus create a life that has meaning. In FINDING MEANING IN THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE Hollis explores the ways we can grow and evolve to fully become ourselves when the traditional roles of adulthood aren't quite working for us revealing a new way of uncovering and embracing our authentic selves. Offering wisdom to anyone facing a career that no longer seems fulfilling a long-term relationship that has shifted or family transitions that raise issues of ageing and mortality FINDING MEANING IN THE SECOND HALF OF LIFE provides a reassuring message and a crucial bridge across this critical passage of adult development. Review: This is the sort of book you have to read ... - This is the sort of book you have to read properly - no skimming. The author has an expansive writing style, very readable, but some reviewers have said repetitive. I would disagree with that - The concepts he talks about are complex and important. After reading about 50 pages I came to the conclusion that if he had just explained things once, I wouldn't have fully understood their depth or, if I'm being honest with myself, my ego wouldn't have accepted that I think in the way he is suggesting. The repetition slowly breaks down the barriers. I started my own journey on the "second half of life" about 2 years ago so, from what I've gone through in that time, I can identify with everything he says. The book makes sense, is relevant and, most importantly, really does talk about the things you need to know if you are entering your midlife crisis. Definitely worth buying Review: Thought provoking and beautifully written - I found this book challenging and rewarding. Impossible to put down, I shall have to read it again more slowly. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 10,417 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 18 in Carl Jung 75 in Aging 557 in Practical & Motivational Self Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,404 Reviews | ## Images ![Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aGS96Vs9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the sort of book you have to read ... *by M***S on 6 November 2014* This is the sort of book you have to read properly - no skimming.
