In this classic text on aging wisely, the renowned Jungian analyst Helen M. Luke reflects on the final journeys described in Homer's Odyssey, Shakespeare's King Lear and The Tempest, and T. S. Eliot's "Little Gidding," and also on suffering. In examining some of the great masterpieces of literature produced by writers at the end of their lives, she elucidates the difference between growing old and disintegrating and encourages us to grow emotionally and mentally in this culminating stage of our own lives.

4.5 stars
I am no Jungian scholar or disciple, so some of the context was lost on me in these essays by Helen M. Luke. I didn't realize that these would be literary essays, but they are so much more than that. They are discourses, almost sermons. I plan to find a copy of this so I can come back to it and mark it up. It was too much to digest in one sitting. I loved The Odyssey epilogue and now find I will need to read The Tempest ASAP. Here are the literary works she uses in this book:
The Odyssey
King Lear
The Tempest (by far the longest in this book)
Little Gidding
And then a final discourse on suffering.
If you are interested in the intersection of literature and spiritual transcendence (e.g. through Religion or Jungian studies), you will probably find this book rewarding. Others will likely be bored to tears. I do recommend reading the works above before reading the corresponding essays but it is not strictly necessary.
