More Description
We all carry a vast inventory of abandoned, unrealized, or underdeveloped talents. These do not just "go away" through underuse or by tossing them off. Instead they go underground and become troublesome - sometimes tormenting - as we grow older.
In Living Your Unlived Life, using warmth, humour, and elegant simplicity, the renowned therapist Robert A. Johnson, writing with long-time collaborator and fellow Jungian psychologist Jerry M. Ruhl, helps us understand our own heritage of unlived life - and how it must be examined and transformed if we are to make peace with ourselves and others in middle age and beyond.
The authors show how to-
- identify those unfulfilled hopes, yearnings, or needs that have gone "underground"
- discover how we unconsciously burden others - friends, spouses, co-workers - with our unlived hopes
- create new life options and unlock hidden talents
- transform fruitless fantasies or "silly" dreams into tools for inner growth
- start truly living in the present moment
