"The Soul's Code" by James Hillman

"The Soul's Code" by James Hillman explores the idea that each person's destiny or purpose is shaped by a unique 'acorn,' or innate potential, present from birth. Instead of viewing life events as purely shaped by external circumstances, Hillman emphasizes that our inner calling guides us toward fulfilling our true nature. The book suggests that understanding this inner seed allows individuals to find meaning and authentic direction in life, encouraging a focus on inner purpose rather than societal expectations or external success. It's a perspective that highlights the importance of trusting our unique, inner guidance to lead a fulfilled life.
