Mershavki. – M.: Independent company “Class”, 2008. – 192 p. – (Library of Psychology and Psychotherapy). “All the gods have died,” the sage Zarathustra once proclaimed. This shocking statement meant the collapse of myths that for many centuries helped people feel their connection with nature, the cosmos, other people and themselves. Where should modern man look for support in our world, devoid of “divine energy”? How to overcome the crisis in understanding life? The famous Jungian analyst James Hollis discusses this in his book. A crisis, he says, is not only the collapse of traditional ideas, but also a lot of new opportunities opening up for a person. And each of us, as a mythological hero, must make an individual “journey”, overcoming fears and obstacles, in order to create our own mythology and our own value system. The one that will become the most reliable support in life. Are you ready to take on this challenge? Perhaps Dr. Hollis's book will help identify milestones along your path.
