While readers of his previous work will benefit from an understanding of Hollis’s inimitable communication of Jungian insights, new readers can take each of the eleven essays as stand-alone disquisitions on some of the most compelling and thought-provoking topics explored by a master of depth psychology.While there is much familiar territory here, including the need to outgrow our complexes, create a life of meaning, esteem the Mystery and remember we “don’t know what we don’t know,” regain personal authority, live the questions, and coming to grips with the reality that each of us is the one constant player in the drama of our lives, there are also new insights and opportunities to learn. For example, throughout ‘Prisms’ there are questions encouraging the reader to gain insight, with an entire section dedicated to “Asking the Questions that Enlarge.” Reflecting on and answering the questions in this section alone is well-worth any effort necessary to acquire and read this book.Because each essay can stand independent of the others, the tone varies. There is a remarkable chapter on individuation focusing on the life of William Butler Yeats. Another chapter primarily uses poetry to reveal the value in reframing our sense of self. One of my favorite chapters is atypical for Hollis, and is filled with puns, “dad” jokes and reminded me that we need to remember to laugh at ourselves and that within humor lay seeds of imagination and hope.Not all of the narrative delivers its message easily. For example, this quote, “We who follow [a reference to following Yeat’s path of individuation] must beware of seeking wisdom, lest we have to earn it too,” was something I pondered a long time before turning the page. I appreciate books, poems and any creative work that make me think. There are many opportunities to consider the meaning of Hollis’s words, and pause and reflect on the messages he is conveying.In the closing chapter, Hollis tells us the title was inspired by his experience as a fifth-grader, when his class looked through glass prisms and loved how the chunks of glass distorted the world. Many of us likely recall the first time we found an object that let us see our world differently as a child. Whether we remember holding a telescope backwards, wearing someone else’s glasses or viewing the world through a coke bottle, that first view of seeing the world differently was a lesson that there are more ways to see the world than that which we usually employ.In ‘Prisms,’ Hollis gently reminds us with stories, prose, reflections, wisdom, Jungian quotes and a few good and bad jokes that learning to see our world through a lens or view different than the one we usually use, is a requisite for a mature spirituality, and acquiring the means to do so is a way to finally, really, grow up. [P.S. the book cover painting ‘Hermes Has Arrived’ by Hollis’s wife Jill is pretty cool too] ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ He just gets better! *by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 28, 2021* Soon I will have read all his books and that will be a very sad day for me. His ability to synthesize material from various sources with his own journey and share it in language that makes sense is amazing. Oh yes, he does like using “big words” and foreign words, but that makes even more interesting. I suggest reading his books on Kindle since it has a built dictionary and translator. Bravo, maestro! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoughtful collection of James Hollis’ ideas *by B***4 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2021* James explores some familiar themes in these essays, capturing his views on individuation, through different angles. He continues to ask the question that life asks all of us: What, from within me, will be brought out into the world? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/424698343-prisms-reflections-on-this-journey-we-call-life](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/424698343-prisms-reflections-on-this-journey-we-call-life) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
