Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"We cannot live the afternoon of our lives by the same rules as we did in the morning."As a young man, Doug McPhillips followed the course of a river from its source to the sea. Decades later, in the quiet afternoon of his life, he came to recognize that his own journey had become like the river itself-slowing, deepening, and reflecting the sky.It's A Long Road Home is a contemplative exploration of the soul's lifelong journey toward wholeness. Blending personal reflection with Carl Jung's concept of the shadow self, Doug invites readers to move beyond the distractions of the outer world and courageously face the hidden parts of themselves.Drawing upon a lifetime of writing, music, and spiritual reflection, this book explores the wisdom found in aging, solitude, surrender, and self-awareness. Rather than searching for fulfillment in the external world, readers are encouraged to discover the quiet transformation that unfolds within.Rich in symbolism and gentle insight, It's A Long Road Home offers hope to anyone navigating life's transitions. It is an invitation to embrace stillness, reconcile with the past, and discover the paradox that even in life's darkest hour, a new beginning quietly emerges.What You'll Discover in This BookReflections on the second half of life and the journey toward wisdomCarl Jung's concept of the shadow self applied to everyday livingThe healing power of solitude, silence, and self-reflectionLessons from nature, rivers, and life's changing seasonsInsights into aging with grace, purpose, and inner peaceA spiritual roadmap for embracing life's transitionsInspiration drawn from a lifetime of books, music, and personal experience
