About this listen

How do you define “growing up?” Does it mean you achieve certain cultural benchmarks - a steady income, paying taxes, marriage, and children? Or does it mean leaving behind the expectations of others and growing into the person you were meant to be? With the unabridged audio of Living an Examined Life, James Hollis offers an essential guidebook for anyone at a crossroads in life. Here this acclaimed author guides you through 21 areas for self-inquiry and growth - such as how to exorcise the ghosts of your past, when to choose meaning over happiness, how to construct a mature spirituality, and how to seize permission to be who you really are.

The content here is exceedingly wise. But hard to implement. Read this book. You will not regret it.

Such useful wisdom within

This is the book every person must read in order to recognise the trancepersonal bargains we carry and to secure that he will live his own life and not the life somebody else impressed on him.

A book every person must read

A truly essential book. Read or listen to one short chapter per day. Each deserves thought and attention and (eventually) revisiting.

Truly profound.

Interesting and captivating in many places. Though how is it than an author refers so frequently to the concept of a ‘soul’ and simultaneously expresses an opinion that there is no after-life… is his version of the soul therefore finite?

Confusing conceptually in parts
