The great Dr. Jim Hollis (read his book Finding Meaning in the Second Half of Life: How to Finally, Really Grow Up) returns for another inspiring exchange.  We covered the amazing Carl Jung and so many other aspects of the human experience.  Jim is so grounded and his wisdom flows freely.  What a beautiful man with a dynamic mind.  I loved his latest book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to dramatically improve the quality of one’s experience in this world.

James Hollis, Ph. D., was born in Springfield, Illinois, and graduated from Manchester University in 1962 and Drew University in 1967. He taught Humanities 26 years in various colleges and universities before retraining as a Jungian analyst at the Jung Institute of Zurich, Switzerland (1977-82). He is presently a licensed Jungian analyst in private practice in Washington, D.C. He served as Executive Director of the Jung Educational Center in Houston, Texas for many years and now is Executive Director of the Jung Society of Washington. He is a retired Senior Training Analyst for the Inter-Regional Society of Jungian Analysts, was first Director of Training of the Philadelphia Jung Institute, and is Vice-President Emeritus of the Philemon Foundation. Additionally he is a Professor of Jungian Studies for Saybrook University of San Francisco/Houston.

He lives with his wife Jill, an artist and retired therapist, in Washington, DC. Together they have three living children and eight grand-children.
