Format: Zoom and In person — C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles, Lecture Room.
Continuing Education: No CE credits available for this program.
A nation or civilization that holds a strong heroic ideal or vision of greatness cannot lose that vision without itself beginning to collapse. This book talk, celebrating the 25th anniversary and new third edition of Portrait of a Nation in Peril: The Fate of America Is in Our Hands, argues that the United States has lost touch with its founding vision and sense of collective purpose and direction, contributing to the sharp polarization dividing the nation today. The event includes a short talk addressing how this problem might be approached, followed by an open exchange of questions and ideas with attendees.
