As iconoclastic and captivating as The Souls Code, The Force Of Character presents an enlivening new vision of lifes mission in light of the aging process. Hillmans magnificent new book is a profound reflection on the wisdom revealed by the body and psyche and how it emerges as we pursue and fulfill our callings. nIn his powerful bestseller The Souls Code, James Hillman brilliantly illuminated the central importance of character to our spiritual and emotional lives. Now, in this magnificent new book, Hillman completes his exploration of character with a profound and revolutionary reflection on lifes second half. nCharacter requires the additional years, declares Hillman. The last years confirm and fulfill character. Far from blunting or dulling the self, the accumulation of experience concentrates the essence of our being, heightening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Drawing on his grounding in Jungian psychology, Hillman explains here the archetypes and myths that govern the selfs realignment in our final years. n nThe Force of Character follows an enriching journey through the three stages of aging--lasting, the deepening that comes with longevity; leaving, the preparation for departure; and left, the special legacy we each bestow on our survivors. Along the way the book explores the meanings and often hidden virtues of characteristic physical and emotional changes, such as loss of memory, alterations in sleep patterns, and the mysterious upsurge in erotic imagination. n nSteeped in the wisdom of a lifetime, radiant with Hillmans reading in philosophy, poetry, and sacred texts, charged with a piercing clarity, The Force of Character is a book that will change--and affirm--the lives of all who read it.n
