Swamplands of the soul
New Life in Dismal Places
Book • 1996
Swamplands of the Soul examines the difficult emotional states such as guilt, grief, betrayal, doubt, depression, anger, and anxiety, which are often encountered in life.
James Hollis argues that these 'swamplands' are not just obstacles but are integral to our individual journey and the development of our soul.
He emphasizes that meaning, rather than happiness, is the true goal of life and that it is in these challenging times that we discover life's purpose, dignity, and deepest meaning.
