Why Are You Afraid of Living an Interesting Life? (and 3 Books That Can Help)

Some quotes from Creating a Life, by James Hollis: “Therapy will not heal you, make your problems go away or make your life work out. It will, quite simply, make your life more interesting” “What Socrates suggests is that the examined life expands the range of vision and of possible choice. Like therapy, the examined life makes one’s existence qualitatively more interesting. Indeed, therapy is the best way I know to examine one’s life, which is why everyone deserves to have a significant therapeutic encounter at some point, not fuelled by pathology, or problem-solving motives… but by the hope to make one’s life more interesting” “As the outer cacophony dimmed, the orchestral range of the psyche grew more palpable. Behind the old saying that the cure for loneliness is solitude, is the discovery that when one is alone one is not alone, but present to a goodly company, in a very rich dialogue with oneself. The chief pathology of our time is the capacity of the world to distract us from this conversation” “When we are pulled deeply into something, even love, it hurts and opens us up to great suffering. But the willingness to open to depth is the chief way in which dignity and purpose return to life. We cease being small when we stand in the presence of the large. The chief symptom of our culture is banality. The chief antidote to banality is the willingness to accept the transformative suffering of depth” A trio of books: Healing the Child Within, by Charles Whitfield https://amzn.to/4lLXf2g Creating a Life, by James Hollis https://amzn.to/4oVkVUt Once Upon a Midlife, by Allan Chinen https://amzn.to/3HVUSfl Auto - self-directed Biblio - books/library Therapy - Healing So, autobibliotherapy = self-directed healing via books In this 3 hour playlist, I will summarise my library down to 15 book recommendations that will significantly impact the effectiveness and depth of your inner work journey.
