What does it really mean to be a grown up in today’s world? We assume that once we “get it together” with the right job, marry the right person, have children, and buy a home, all is settled and well. But adulthood presents varying levels of growth, and is rarely the respite of stability we expected. Turbulent emotional shifts can take place anywhere between the age of thirty-five and seventy when we question the choices we’ve made, realize our limitations, and feel stuck—commonly known as the “midlife crisis.” Jungian psycho-analyst James Hollis believes it is only in the second half of life that we can truly come to know who we are and thus create a life that has meaning. In Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life, Hollis explores the ways we can grow and evolve to fully become ourselves when the traditional roles of adulthood aren’t quite working for us, revealing a new way of uncovering and embracing our authentic selves. Offering wisdom to anyone facing a career that no longer seems fulfilling, a long-term relationship that has shifted, or family transitions that raise issues of aging and mortality, Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life provides a reassuring message and a crucial bridge across this critical passage of adult development.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We all have moments of confusion, perplexity, and doubt. These are signs that we are simply living on automatic pilot. We cannot answer the question of what we are unconscious of, but we do know that what is unconscious has great power in our lives. #2 The presence of suffering is a manifestation of the psyche at work. The Self autonomously, sometimes dramatically, protests through symptoms, which despite our frantic efforts, resist change. #3 The origin of a symptom is always a historic wound to the soul. We are obliged to thank our symptoms for they catch our attention and compel us to take them seriously. We must recognize and accept the fact that there is a will within us, outside the range of our conscious control, which knows what is right for us. #4 We must ask ourselves who we are apart from the roles we have been playing. We must have lived long enough to see that we have constructed patterns in our lives that undermine our best interests. We are the protagonist of the drama, but we are also the author.

Finding Margaret is the moving story of journalist and broadcaster Andrew Pierce's search for his birth mother. As he was approaching fifty, Pierce decided that it was finally time to track down his biological mother. He knew that he had lived in a Roman Catholic orphanage in Cheltenham for more than two years and was adopted at the age of three by a family who loved and nurtured him. As his career in journalism flourished and despite feeling like he was betraying the adoptive parents who loved him so much, Pierce began to tentatively search for his birth mother, only to find that she had done everything she could to ensure he would never find her. When he finally managed to meet her, the mystery only deepened, leading him to Ireland in search of the man who may or may not have been his father. During his search, Pierce also realises the extent of the mistreatment he suffered at the orphanage and attempts to forge a relationship with the woman who gave him away. This candid book is a heartwarming page turner that takes the reader on an extraordinary journey. Full of amusing and arresting anecdotes, at its heart lies the inspirational story of one man's extensive search for his birth mother and what happened when he finally found her.
