Rent What Matters Most: Living a More Considered Life

Synopsis

Why are we here? What is the meaning of existence? What truly matters the most in life? To even begin to answer these questions, we must start by exploring our own internal ideas, values, and beliefs. Presenting the unique perspective of respected analyst and author James Hollis, Ph.D., What Matters Most helps listeners learn to appreciate (even be amazed by) events unfolding within, even as the external world creates constant struggles.

Taking a fresh look at the concept of happiness, Hollis uses a warm, accessible tone to encourage listeners to learn to tolerate ambiguity, embrace growth rather than security, respect the power of Eros, engage spiritual crises, and acknowledge the shadow of mortality. Providing inspiring wisdom and personal reflections to address our deepest worries, What Matters Most yields far more than mere self-help cliches. Instead Hollis guides listeners in uncovering the heart of the matter, discovering what it means to truly live life to its fullest, most meaningful state—as fully engaged citizens of the world.

"Hollis speaks to and teaches from the heart. A combination of genuine vision and genuine humanity is a rare and valuable gift." – Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D., author of Women Who Run With the Wolves
"James Hollis is the most lucid thinker I know about the complexities and complexes that interfere with living a full life...He's one of our great teachers and healers." – Stephen Dunn, Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poet
