About this listen

Creating a Life is a powerful commentary on the importance of the examined life, illustrating how we may arrive at an understanding of our life choices and relationships by exploring our core complexes and personal history. With insight and compassion grounded in the humanist side of analytical psychology, Hollis elucidates the circuitous way of individuation. The text is deeply enriched by the inclusion of poems and excerpts from the works of many modern writers (including John Fowles, Rilke, D.H Lawrence, Thoreau, Pascal and Kierkegaard).

I'm a big fan of James Hollis' books but a couple of them are spoiled by a poor style of narration. The reading is wholly inappropriate to the subject matter, The only way I can get it through it is by slowing down playback significantly.
