James Hollis, PhD is a Jungian analyst who is still in private practice in Washington D.C. Hollis started his career as a professor of humanities before a midlife crisis brought him to his knees\u2014and to the Jung Institute in Zurich. The author of 19 books, Hollis is one of the best interpreters of Carl Jung\u2019s work, making it accessible for all of us who want to understand how complexes, archetypes, synchronicities, and the shadow drive our lives.\nHollis\u2019s books are very meaningful to me\u2014you\u2019ll find a long list in the show notes\u2014and the chance to interview him did not disappoint. In fact, at one point, where he describes what we do to boys as we turn them into men, I actually started to cry. Meanwhile, James Hollis still lectures\u2014you can go to his site to find a way to see him live. The fact that he\u2019s 84 and does not seem inclined to retire\u2014in fact, he told me he has another book coming out next year\u2014is a testament to how a vocation doesn\u2019t feel like work. This is one of my favorite interviews to date. I hope you love it as much as I do.\n\nMORE FROM JAMES HOLLIS, PhD:\nWhy Good People Do Bad Things: Understanding Our Darker Selves\nFinding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up\nA Life of Meaning: Relocating Your Center of Spiritual Gravity\nThe Broken Mirror: Refracted Visions of Ourselves\nJames Hollis\u2019s Website\n\nRELATED EPISODES:\nConnie Zweig, \u201cEmbracing the Shadow\u201d\nSatya Doyle Byock, \u201cNavigating Quarterlife\u201d\nTerry Real, \u201cHealing Male Depression\u201d\nNiobe Way, PhD, \u201cThe Critical Need for Deep Connection\u201d\n \nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\n \n Learn more about your ad choices.
