The Force of Character and the Lasting Life by James Hillman

Author: James Hillman
ISBN: 9780091840648
Condition: Pre-Loved

Not a self-help book, but something rarer and more enduring — a work of philosophical depth and psychological wisdom about what ageing truly serves. James Hillman, one of the 20th century’s most original thinkers, asks: What does ageing serve? What is its point? And proceeds to answer with characteristic brilliance.

From the loss of short-term memory (which clears space for deeper reflection) to the three great movements of later life — lasting, leaving, and what is left — Hillman reframes the markers of ageing as gifts to character, imagination, and soul. A profound and beautifully written meditation for anyone willing to look at the second half of life with honesty, curiosity, and grace.
