  • Dr. James Hollis is a Jungian analyst, a former director of the Jung Society of Washington, DC, and a professor of Jungian Studies for Saybrook University of San Francisco/Houston. He is the author of The Middle Passage, Living an Examined Life, Through the Dark Wood, and Living Between Worlds, among many others. With Sounds True, he’s released the expansive audio program A Life of Meaning: Exploring Our Deepest Questions and Motivations. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with James about the journey for personal fulfillment-how it starts, what it demands, and how it changes your life. James explains what it really means to take responsibility for your life’s path, as well as how you can rediscover and reclaim your innate authority. Tami and James discuss how childhood experiences shape our present behaviour and what it takes to live fearlessly. Finally, they talk about overcoming lethargy and the joy of becoming comfortable with mysteries.

    I have tremendous gratitude for Dr. Jim Hollis and his willingness to sit down at the computer after a long day of seeing patients and writing what he knows to be true. His words, books, interviews, and visits to the Seattle Jung Society have given me some practical guideposts in which to navigate this thing called life just a little bit better❤.

    There have thusfar been nearly 8,000 views, but only 300+ "likes" and 11 comments. I often wonder about the reasons why so few people share their feedback to, in particular, videos such as this one, which provide so many wonderful and significant insights. I am aware that, in my own case, I similarly refrain from even sharing my feelings by taking 5 seconds to "like" videos. I am confident the number of likes represents but a small fraction of the viewers who do like this video. I'm hopeful that the people who have put in the effort to produce them are not discouraged by such a small % of views giving their feedback. I do not know the reasons behind this, but I suspect it is due to some combination of fear of expressing views publicly, overloading of information stimuli, and a sense that likes and comments are relatively meaningless. If anyone else has some additional perspectives, please do reply. I would love to learn what others think about this interesting question.
