James Hollis wrote an encouraging guide for people who want to steer their lives independently, without letting the past influence the present and the future. Learn to interpret your dreams, unexpected impulses, and desires to understand the language of your unconscious. This opens the door to a treasury of deep knowledge of your soul—what you truly need, what is genuinely valuable, and how to begin a path to a life filled with deep satisfaction, meaning, and joy, shaped by events and healthy emotions.
