In his powerful bestseller The Soul's Code, James Hillman brilliantly illuminated the central importance of character to our spiritual and emotional lives. Now, in this magnificent new book, Hillman completes his exploration of character with a profound and revolutionary reflection on life's second half.

"Character requires the additional years," declares Hillman. "The last years confirm and fulfill character." Far from blunting or dulling the self, the accumulation of experience concentrates the essence of our being, heightening our individual mystery and unique awareness of life. Drawing on his grounding in Jungian psychology, Hillman explains here the archetypes and myths that govern the self's realignment in our final years.

The Force of Character follows an enriching journey through the three stages of aging--lasting, the deepening that comes with longevity; leaving, the preparation for departure; and left, the special legacy we each bestow on our survivors. Along the way the book explores the meanings and often hidden virtues of characteristic physical and emotional changes, such as loss of memory, alterations in sleep patterns, and the mysterious upsurge in erotic imagination.

Steeped in the wisdom of a lifetime, radiant with Hillman's reading in philosophy, poetry, and sacred texts, charged with a piercing clarity, The Force of Character is a book that will change--and affirm--the lives of all who read it.

bury me in snuggle sac!!
soo i’ve purchased 6 of the fuzzy blankets, 2 packs of the socks, the cardigan, and now this gem of a cooling blanket! im usually a heavy fluffy blanket person, regardless of season or temperature, but living in florida it’s sometimes a struggle. figured i’d give this one a try since i’m obsessed with snuggle sac. the blanket is very thin, intentionally, and is such a deliciously soft and unique material! the one side is cooling and really cold to the touch! both sides look very rich and high quality. definitely makes a difference so i’m not waking up hot anymore! in order to replicate my heavy blanket habit, i use the snuggle sac ribbed blanket on top of it, and can always remove it in the night. so happy with my purchase! always keeping my eye out for new releases from them.

Cools quite well, about 85% but works well for hot flashes
Being in perimenopause I tend to have hot flashes at the most inopportune times, especially in the middle of winter where I'm sleeping practically naked and everyone in the house is sleeping with hoodies and sweats and extra blankets. I just found out that one side is extremely cooler than the other and the first night I had it I washed it gently dried it in a very light, delicate setting on my dryer. In fact, I didn't let it dry all the way and let it hang up and the first three nights I slept with this blanket. I slept an entire 8 hours instead of the usual three because hot flashes like to do that to you. Wake you up at 2:00 in the morning or 5:00 in the morning when you have to get up for work in an hour. It's very light. It smells great. It's very soft and one side like I said is cooler than the other and you will feel so much better wearing this or sleeping with this rather. I'm

Keeps me cooler than before!!
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
I have been going back and forth about buying the Rest comforter but it is so expensive and then I stumbled across this. I am very pleased, it is light and one side usually stays cool to the touch. It does warm up with body heat but usually I let it sit in front of the fan for few minutes and it’s cold again. It was made a huge difference and it good quality for what you pay.
