I read Creating a Life by Hollis about a year ago and have been through ten or so of his books since. Fantastic writer and thinker. Haven’t been able to get Hauntings yet but looking forward to it. Great interview.
One of the best lecture interviews I have yet to hear. I listened to this podcasts several times and found it extremely insightful and inspiring. Thank you!
I liked how James took the time to explain the neutral nature of complexes (they can be either good or bad), and how the power within them can in turn overpower consciousness. I’ve often felt that complexes are something misunderstood by both the general public and trained psychologists alike, where it’s assumed that complexes are an entirely negative thing. I feel that understanding the rather simple and elegant concept that are complexes helps greatly to further understand psychodynamics, and the way James Hollis speaks of complexes is indeed elegant.
