Dr. James Hollis is a Jungian psychoanalyst, author, and public
speaker who has written seventeen books and served as the
executive director of the Jung Society of Washington. He stopped
by the podcast for a short conversation on the search for meaning
in a modern world, the way that mythology allows us to take some
of the load off of our shoulders, and how the disappearance of
the gods from Mount Olympus means that we are operate in a
disorienting era of personal responsibility without any of the
guideposts that we used to rely on. Check out Dr. Hollis’ books
