Within each of us, there is a deep, powerful source for living lives of love, creativity, and fulfillment. To imagine this foundation for life and the energy it produces is to imagine ourselves and our world filled with the influence of the archetypal feminine - her passionate creativity, love, and ageless knowing. Personally and culturally, this force - which lives at the heart of our lives - has been wounded and diminished until it seems to have retreated beyond the horizon of a world filled with rationalism and an anxious, endless need for achievement.

In Radical Hope and the Healing Power of Illness, Jungian analyst Bud Harris PhD helps listeners examine the emotional impact of illness and the life lessons, self-knowledge, and freedom that coping with difficult circumstances can provide.

We are living up to 30 years longer than people a few generations ago did. In Aging Strong Dr. Harris shows that this "extraordinary gift of a longer life" is the opportunity to go deep inside ourselves and meet the spiritual challenge to develop a new story and purpose for ourselves during the fourth quarter of life. It is the opportunity to explore our creativity, discover new vocations and callings, learn to thrive, hold a sense of wonder, and establish a new sense of security in life. It is the gift of deeper emotional connections, wisdom, and newfound joy in living.

Good American citizens have gotten sidetracked. We need to first look in the mirror and then to act together to reclaim the heart of our democracy. This is author, lecturer, and Jungian psychoanalyst Bud Harris’ impassioned message in America Now, his 14th and possibly most personal book. Dr. Harris takes aim at bubble-living, positive thinking, corporate and political greed, unmanageable health care, and goading media. His highly relatable journey may well be the call to action you need to hear.

Dr. Bud Harris examines causes and solutions for these ongoing mass murders and posits that the rational answer is not to "confiscate weapons", as the gun lobby falsely asserts, but rather to take an unflinching look at the deep rage propelling these shooters - and then to act. He urges citizens to face our collective demons and no longer allow our political polarization to dictate a deep-seated sense that we as individuals, and as a society, no longer control our own destinies.
