ENCHANTING
Life’s Dream Calling
The Thrilling Adventures of the 2nd Half of Life
by
Austrian Psychotherapist
Margrit Eleonore Haid
How can the 2nd half of life become a deeply fulfilling and enchanting adventure with zest and spirit? How can your life dream and LIFE’S dream of you come true in our highly complex times, and how can an enriching life together with other, very different people be possible at the same time, despite all the challenges that life and aging present?
In this book I show in a colourful sequence of topics and easy-to-understand way, how the findings of psychotherapy by different authors, offer inspiring, enriching, unconventional and encouraging answers to the questions posed above. For a fulfilling life across the life-span it is imperative to better understand and consider the interplay of body, mind, soul, and spirit including the unconscious.
Therefore, I place particular emphasis on the significance of its integration and on the nocturnal dream as an evolutionary map. With it, also the immense creative capacity and willpower inherent in every human being are of great importance. Integrating and embracing all these areas is crucial for an empowering and deeply satisfying 2nd half of life, especially on the bumpy road that life sometimes throws at us.
In addition to my own explanations, I also let well-known authors from the fields of psychotherapy, consciousness research, medicine, sociology, philosophy, quantum physics, biology, and anthropology such as C. G. Jung, C. P. Estés, Ken Wilber, James Hillman, L. Rosenmayr, Danielle Quinodoz, Helen Luke, Roberto Assagioli, Ingrid Riedel, Marie-Louise v. Franz, Arnold Mindel, Rupert Sheldrake, Alan Wolf, and others have their say.
