"Living Between Worlds speaks to the deeply unsettled feeling many of us have in the face of the chaos of our modern age, to the sense that something has died and its replacement has yet to be reborn. With relevant examples from his personal life, his practice, classical literature, and fairy tales, Hollis makes a compelling case for depth psychology as the weather-proofing we need for the winds of change. He places our current collective distress in the context of the scope of Western Civilization, and calls on us to find within ourselves, both collectively and individually, the resources to navigate our discomfort with change and uncertainty. In the end he comes to the conclusion that humanity has always survived times of upheaval, and offers hope that we will make it through these times to a new world, just as our ancestors did before us"-- Provided by publisher.
