I adore this book. James Hollis reflects on many of the things he has learned in his long, full life. Reading Living with Borrowed Dust really feels like sitting with an elder. And Hollis is the sort of elder I want to hear more from. The book bounces around from topic to topic, all of them interesting, all of them relevant. I was particularly fascinated by the discussion of Jung since I only recently began my own journey reading and studying the subject. The narration was simple and direct, letting the author's words shine. Thank you to the author, narrator, Sounds True, and NetGalley for the audioARC.

This relatively short listen is thought provoking and poignant albeit I may not resonate or agree with all elements the core values of the messages delivered are outstanding. It’s delivered in a way that anyone can understand and particularly if you are on any kind of journey of self healing, looking within, accepting of passing of a loved one this may help you! We all face troubling times in life and navigating these can be difficult this is where books like this can be of assistance in teaching or reminding oneself!

I found some great reminders in this and the biggest take away is that we are all accountable for ourselves our lives and our own inner work however with a strong reminder “WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER” So be kind always because you never know what another may be going through in any capacity. To learn and know oneself is to understand at a deeper level how you can be of service in this world and listen to your calling without shrinking yourself due to old wounds and trauma. When you feel your going through the ring of fire, face it head on dig deep, remember your faith, heart & soul and then take the steps needed to live your most authentic true self.

One day at a time we all awaken to ourselves and the world around us and this audiobook was a fantastic listen to remind me of this!

This was well narrated by Steve Hendrickson and quite fast paced and detailed on a soul level so it may be good to listen and reflect and go back however I simply couldn’t wait to hear the next chapter!
