James Hollis is one of the most respected Jungian psychoanalysts and teachers in the world and the author of 16 books about what matters most in life.
He famously writes – and this is the wildly a-ha-ish idea this episode - that our souls are calling us to an appointment with life. Together we break down how this can be applied to our lives right now. TBH, it's the mantra that has guided my the most the past two years.
I catch up with James for the first time since we spoke for This One Wild & Precious Life to discuss resilience, finding and serving our destiny in these crazy times, and what happens when we ignore the message our soul is trying to send us. (Be warned!)
I dig all James' books, but my favourite is What Matters Most, should you want to give his writing a go.
