Story
James Hillman was a past master of alchemical psychology. This field uses metaphors derived from ancient alchemy to elucidate deep structures in the creative imagination. Creative processes are not random. By studying alchemical psychology we come to understand ourselves and other humans in surprising ways that frequently diverge sharply from the habitual understandings we have unconsciously absorbed from the cultures in which we were raised.

In this volume, taken from the Collective Works, Jung describes and elaborates upon the two central concepts of his psychology. Included are essays on specific archetypes, a study of the process of individuation, and an account of mandala symbolism. The Journal of Analytical Psychology in its review of the text commented: ‘An eloquent witness to Jung’s greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man’s existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.’

Awakening the Soul addresses issues of the loss of soul throughout the world and the loss of meaning and truth in modern life. Using ancient myths and stories and compelling insights, Michael Meade illustrates how meaning is essential to the human soul and describes how soul can be recovered and people can learn to “live in truth.” Drawing from dramatic episodes in his own life, Meade shows how the soul tries to awaken at critical times, and how an awakened soul is crucial for finding medicine to treat the ailments and alienation of modern life.

Story
Stephen Jenkinson explores the great paradox of elderhood in North America: how we are awash in the aged and yet somehow lacking in wisdom; how we relegate senior citizens to the corner of the house while simultaneously heralding them as sage elders simply by virtue of their age. Our own unreconciled relationship with what it means to be an elder has yielded a culture nearly bereft of them. Taking on the sacred cow of the family, Jenkinson argues that elderhood is a function rather than an identity.

Story
Images and sounds of war, natural disasters, and human-made devastation explicitly surround us and implicitly leave their imprint in our muscles, our belly and heart, our nervous systems, and the brains in our skulls. We each experience more digital data than we are capable of processing in a day, and this is leading to a loss of empathy and human contact. This loss of leisurely, sustained, face-to-face connection is making true presence a rare experience for many of us, and is neurally ingraining fast pace and split attention as the norm.

So interesting, insightful a enjoyable read

Publisher's Summary
Plato called it “daimon”, the Romans “genius”, the Christians “guardian angel”; today we use such terms as “heart,” “spirit,” and “soul.” While philosophers and psychologists from Plato to Jung have studied and debated the fundamental essence of our individuality, our modern culture refuses to accept that a unique soul guides each of us from birth, shaping the course of our lives. In this extraordinary best seller, James Hillman presents a brilliant vision of our selves, and an exciting approach to the mystery at the center of every life that asks, “What is it, in my heart, that I must do, be, and have? And why?”
Drawing on the biographies of figures such as Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi, Hillman argues that character is fate, that there is more to each individual than can be explained by genetics and environment. The result is a reasoned and powerful road map to understanding our true nature and discovering an eye-opening array of choices - from the way we raise our children to our career paths to our social and personal commitments to achieving excellence in our time.

Not up to the standard of Hillman's usual work
This could have been an essay. Instead, it was a rambling, repetitive piece of something that ignores all science and understanding of cognitive-behavioral research and the impact of trauma to present another forced either/or when it should be explored as a both/and. The acorn theory, or fate, or destiny or character is interesting to add to nature/nurture philosophizing and research, but this acorn theory should have been put in a nutshell, not a tome.

Great book; Abysmal reading
This is a great book. But I recommend reading it rather than listening to it. It is the worst audible production I have ever experienced. If Hillman had any say about who was chosen to read this book, it makes me question every premise in it. After all, this book is about one of the most beautiful, majestic subjects imaginable: the soul! Yet the reading is mechanical and its editing the worst I have ever listened to. It is as if the reader was not paying any attention to what he was actually reading. He appeared to be incapable of integrating the ideas or simply just did not care. Either way, it was horrible. I was forced to give at least a one for performance. But on a different scale of -5 to 5, I would give this reader a -5. These words deserve better!

Distractingly poor narration
Interesting but dry presentation of the “Acorn Theory.” The narration was inconsistent with frequent changes in the tone of voice that did not correspond to the needs of the content. I don’t know how this made it through quality control. (This is my very first negative review after listing to scores of audiobooks)
