The thought of the heart and the soul of the world

The two groundbreaking essays presented in The Thought of the Heart and the Soul of the World launch archetypal psychology in a new direction: into the world. James Hillman calls this “a depth psychology of extroversion”—a therapy that goes beyond the consulting room and personal relationships, opening a profound connection with the world. To restore the heart’s courage and imaginative power, the soul of the world needs the same attention we have given to the souls of people. There is an animistic quality to all things in our environment, whether natural or man-made. These essays show us how to reclaim the heart and soul.
