The Soul's Code

Book • 1996
In 'The Soul's Code', James Hillman presents a vision of human nature based on the idea of a personal 'daimon' or 'guardian angel' that guides each individual's life.

He challenges the notion that our lives are determined by genetics and environment, instead proposing that each person has a unique soul with its own distinctive passion, calling, and destiny.

Hillman uses examples from the lives of famous figures like Ella Fitzgerald and Mohandas K. Gandhi to illustrate how this 'daimon' influences our choices and outcomes.

The book offers a philosophical and psychological framework for understanding and fulfilling one's true potential and life's purpose.
