What does it really mean to be a grown up in today’s world? 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, realize our limitations, and feel stuck— commonly known as the "midlife crisis." Jungian psycho-analyst 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 aging 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....

Following the philosophy of psychiatrist Carl Jung, this perceptive book teaches how to acquire a higher level of consciousness concerning daily decisions so that one can be more in tune with the complexity of both the world and other people. The typical question of why bad things happen to good people is also turned on its head in this study, which instead asks Why do good people do horrible things? Dissecting the answer, this complete analysis explains that accepting the "Shadow"—those unconscious parts of the self that one projects to the world—as a part of a person’s identity is the first step towards complete personal understanding. This guide also cautions, however, that this dark side must be controlled, or it will ultimately cause good people to fall into bad behaviors.

 

Siguiendo la filosofía del psiquiatra Carl Jung, este libro perceptivo enseña a adquirir un mayor nivel de conciencia de las acciones y decisiones cotidianas al fin de estar en sintonía con la complejidad del mundo y de otras personas. Este estudio trata en una manera nueva la pregunta típica de por qué las buenas personas experimentan las cosas malas con la pregunta Por qué las buenas personas hacen malas cosas? Analizando esta respuesta, esta análisis completa explica que acceptando la Sombra—aquellas partes inconscientes del yo que contradicen la imagen que la persona muestra al mundo—como parte del ser es el primer paso hacia la totalidad completa. Esta guía también advierte, sin embargo, que este lado oscuro deba ser controlado, o últimamente causará que la buena gente actúe mal.

Now in paperback, a penetrating understanding of the discrepancies that lie between our professed values and our frequently destructive actions

How is it that good people do bad things? Why do otherwise ordinary people gamble, drink, embezzle company funds, become addicted to Internet porn, cheat on their spouse, or repeat the same destructive behaviors in relationships, at work, or in their habits? And, on a grander scale, how can we reconcile all of the pain and suffering present in the world?

In Why Good People Do Bad Things, James Hollis offers wisdom to help you acquire a new level of awareness to your daily actions and choices. Exploring the Shadow is important to our growth because it helps us repair inner fractures and explore what forces are working against us, and why. Hollis also looks at the larger picture of the Shadow at work in our culture—in history, religion, organizations, and corporations—in addition to its presence in our personal lives....
