The Parental Fallacy

The Soul's Code
Book •
James Hillman's 'The Soul's Code' explores the idea that each individual is born with a unique destiny or 'acorn' containing the blueprint for their life.

Hillman challenges the common belief that parenting and environment are the sole determinants of a child's future.

Instead, he argues that inherent potential and innate character play a significant role.

The book encourages a shift in perspective, urging parents and society to recognize and nurture the child's inner calling.

Hillman's work emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the individual's unique path and supporting its unfolding.

By recognizing the 'acorn' within each person, we can foster a deeper understanding of human potential and purpose.
