The other half: Finding meaning in the second half of life

The first half of our lives is marked by the search for our place in the world and the acquisition of resources, but in the second half, priorities are modified. In adulthood, accumulation slows down and we prepare ourselves to enter a period of stability that, however, turns out to be very fragile. When the meaning of life is lost in the everyday and the slightest crisis threatens to knock it down, we discover an unfinished settlement with our psyche. While we grew up and tried to meet the demands of our environment, we silenced our own voice and now the soul demands accountability. It longs for a larger journey project, one that nobody gave us permission to take seriously. James Hollis proposes a revision of what has been gestated along the way and an even deeper rethinking of the motivations and desires that brought you here. An invitation to authenticity and self-knowledge as a necessary stop in any reformulation of meaning.
