The Soul’s Code

In Search of Character and Calling

De: James Hillman

Narrado por: John Lescault

Plato called it “daimon”, the Romans “genius”, the Christians “guardian angel”; today we use such terms as “heart,” “spirit,” and “soul.” While philosophers and psychologists from Plato to Jung have studied and debated the fundamental essence of our individuality, our modern culture refuses to accept that a unique soul guides each of us from birth, shaping the course of our lives. In this extraordinary best seller, James Hillman presents a brilliant vision of our selves, and an exciting approach to the mystery at the center of every life that asks, “What is it, in my heart, that I must do, be, and have? And why?”

Drawing on the biographies of figures such as Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hillman argues that character is fate, that there is more to each individual than can be explained by genetics and environment. The result is a reasoned and powerful road map to understanding our true nature and discovering an eye-opening array of choices - from the way we raise our children to our career paths to our social and personal commitments to achieving excellence in our time.

Amazing great book

What a fascinating magical book. Give it a chance, stick with it, very very rewarding!

La psicología Arquetipica. Y el autor es excepcional. Claro, conciso e inspirador.

Me gustó mucho la profundidad con la que trata el tema y las fuentes tradicionales que cita para cada explicación.

Interesting book and content but

the performance is so sleep inducing and annoying that I can't finish it 🤨

I'll buy the book instead 😉

Deep, character and calling !

Insightful, wise, well written. You will gain knowledge for your adventure called life! Get it!

Oh, what value!

This work brims with syntopic analysis from Plato to Jung. One can feel it swath through both cult and culture all the while keep steady hand fixed on truth. Anything more might be a disservice to the potential reader!!
