AMERICA

Noted New Age Jungian James Hillman doubles with a "coreligionist." He and Chicago shrink Ben Sells try to define the nation's zeitgeist in a cozy, ad-libbed one-on-one. From spirituality, they inevitably get to mysticism and conclude with Hillman's theory of the "daimon"--the individual's personal genius or animating spirit. Hillman and costar are engaging, articulate, humorous and, to the uninitiated, a bit silly. Their message--well, it's not for the skeptical, who will be amused or annoyed at their presumption of possessing all the answers. Y.R. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: MAR/APR 98]
