ratings on Goodreads

In "The Eden Project," James Hollis embarks on a profound exploration of the fantasies that ensnare us in our relationships, offering a torchlight for those willing to navigate the complex terrains of personal responsibility and growth. With keen insight and compassionate guidance, Hollis challenges the seductive myths of romantic love that pervade Western culture, urging us instead to confront the often-unacknowledged depths of our own souls. This book is not merely a critique but a beacon for those seeking to unearth the real foundations of intimacy and connection. Hollis's narrative is a compelling invitation to a journey inward, where the quest for external salvation is abandoned in favor of genuine self-discovery and individual evolution. Through a rich tapestry of psychological wisdom and relatable anecdotes, "The Eden Project" illuminates the path toward a more authentic and fulfilling way of relating to ourselves and others. It stands as a crucial corrective to our collective fantasies about relationships, offering a blueprint for a more grounded and truthful engagement with love.

It’s so good. - Neil Strauss
When one has let go of that great hidden agenda that drives humanity and its varied histories, then one can begin to encounter the immensity of one's own soul. If we are courageous enough to say, "Not this person, nor any other, can ultimately give me what I want; only I can," then we are free to celebrate a relationship for what it can give.
— James Hollis, The Eden Project
