Hidden Blessings - Midlife Crisis As a Spiritual Awakening

Many words have been written about this period of life sometimes called middle age. What makes Hidden Blessings different is its unique blend of psychological and spiritual guidance to help us respond fully to the transformative invitation of midlife. That invitation is to step away from taking life literally - and, perhaps, superficially - to discover a deep and profound underlying existence. The transformation that is possible during midlife is more than just a continuation of the developmental arc of the first half of our lives; midlife offers the possibility of metamorphosis into an entirely new life with a vaster perspective than we have enjoyed until now. The midlife passage invites the death of who we have known ourselves to be and promises the birth of our authentic, soul-infused self, long suppressed under years of outward obligations. The more we view midlife as a spiritual rebirth rather than something to get over or simply endure, the less likely we are to settle for trying to repackage what we have lived during the first half of our adult lives - and the more likely we are to discover the full range of the blessings that awaits us if we surrender to the challenging process of unraveling and being transformed. 'This is a terrific book. It is rich and deeply satisfying, as theauthor carefully and lovingly leads the reader through an in-depthexploration of the midlife passage as an opportunity to live a moreauthentic and fulfilling life.' - John Welwood, author of Toward a Psychology of Awakening 'In the middle of our lives, there is a 'dark wood,' as Dante namedit,where each of us must lose our way. The luckiest among us find aguide like Jett Psaris who offers not only an exquisite map, butprofound companionship along the way.' - Kim Rosen, author of Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words 'HiddenBlessings is the best book on midlife I've ever reviewed.' - Patricia Holt, San Francisco Chronicle
