Eileen's Reviews > Balancing Heaven and Earth: A Memoir of Visions, Dreams, and Realizations

A Jungian psychotherapist has a near death experience and spends the rest of his life trying to find his balance between heaven, where he wants to be, and earth, where he is bound to life. He deals with eternal problems: how to be close to God but not cut himself off from other people, how to honor his introverted character and also deal with a longing for connection with others, how to make a living and at the same time keep his focus on what's really important in life – being the person God created him to be. I love this book because Johnson is a lot like me in some ways. It reassures me I'm not the only one out there like me.
