Living Between Worlds

Finding Personal Resilience in Changing Times

De: James Hollis PhD

Narrado por: Michael Cover

What guides us when our world is changing? Discover the path to deeper meaning and purpose through depth psychology and classical thought.

How did we get to this crossroads in history? And will we make it through - individually and as a species? “We all assumed that learning, rationality, and good intentions would prove enough to bring us to the promised land,” says Dr. James Hollis. “But they haven’t and won’t. Yet what we also do not recognize sufficiently is that this human animal is equipped for survival. In time, as we have seen of life’s other insolubles, we grow large enough to contain what threatened to destroy us.”

Hollis’ students know him as a penetrating thinker who brings profound insight and sophistication to the inner journey. In Living Between Worlds, he broadens his lens to encompass the relationship between our inner struggles and the rapidly shifting realities of modern human existence. You will learn to invoke the tools of depth psychology, classical literature, philosophy, dreamwork, and myth to gain access to the resources that supported our ancestors through their darkest hours. Through these paths of inner exploration, you will access your “locus of knowing” - an inner wellspring of deep resilience beyond the ego, always available to guide you back to the imperatives of your soul.

Though many of the challenges of our times are unique, the path through for us personally and collectively will always rely on our measureless capacity for creativity, wisdom, and connection to a reality larger than ourselves. Here, you will find no easy answers or pat reassurances. Yet as you listen to Living Between Worlds, you will encounter causes for hope. “We can find what supports us when nothing supports us,” Hollis teaches. “By bearing the unbearable, we go through the desert to arrive at a nurturing oasis we did not know was there.”

Hollis at his best, once again!

Great choice for narration.
Once again James Hollis offers a fresh perspective on Psycho-Logical matters related to service of the Soul, successfully turning our world perspective upside down and inside out.

Encouragement to Live Fully

A valuable listen and an excellent synthesis of previous books which will aid me on my journey, and anyone else who resonates with the Jungian perspective.

Great book, too similar to previous books

I enjoyed this book but it was the 2nd I’ve listen too from this author and there are parts of the book that are basically copy pasted from his past book “the dark wood”. I still would recommend this book especially if you have never read a book by James Hollis

Decent read

This was my first book from this author and I have to say that I’m not disappointed, I’ll be reading more books from him!

“Listening” to Living Between the Worlds

True to form James Hollis does not disappoint in his writing. This book provides a rich perspective and summary of depth psychology. The disappointment is how the narrator sounds computerized with a bit of humanity, thus 1 star for performance. James Hollis voice is needed to convey the profound meaning behind the words. Although I am disappointed with the narration, I still recommend the work of James Hollis and this book does not disappoint.
