dread and resistance which every natural human being experiences when

Is the purpose of life to achieve happiness? Who does not long to arrive some
distant day at that sunlit meadow where we may abide in pure contentment?
But we know life is not like that. Much of the time we are lost in the dismal
states of guilt, grief, betrayal, depression and the like.
Swamplands of the Soul explores the quicksands where we have all floundered.
It lights a beacon of hope by showing what they mean in terms of our individual
journey and the engendering of soul. Encompassing both the meadow and the
bog, this author's perspective asserts that the goal of life is not happiness
but meaning. And meaning, though it may not be all sunlight and blossoms,
is real.#
Reviews:
Midwest Book Review
Life is a constant and cascading series of struggles large and small with
the vicissitudes and setbacks of life. States of happiness and contentment
are ephemeral and under constant erosion by states of guilt, grief, betrayal,
doubt, depression, deprivation, anger, terror, and change. Swamplands Of The
Soul: New Life In Dismal Places presents the Jungian perspective: By encompassing
both the meadow and the bog, the goal of life is not happiness but meaning.
And meaning, though it may not be all sunlight and blossoms, is nonetheless
real. Swamplands Of The Soul explores the quicksands where we have all been
entrapped from time to time. Swamplands Of The Soul lights a beacon by showing
what these "quicksands" mean in terms of our individual journey
through life and the engendering of soul. For as James Hollis maintains, it
is precisely where we encounter the "gravitas" of life that we also
uncover its purpose, its dignity and its deepest meaning. Thoughtful and reflective
reading.
"Clearly written,
its meaning easy to grasp, and although Hollis does not spare us from the
bad news of the difficult journey through the swamp, one feels that his challenge
to the reader is compassionate and that he wants us to succeed." - Cassie
D. Cohoon, Newsletter of the Jung Society of Montreal.
