It’s A Long Road Home
A moving reflection on ageing, purpose, and the journey back to yourself.
Published November 12, 2024
“At the end of the journey, we discover that home was never a place—it was the peace we carried within.”
“We cannot live the afternoon of our lives by the same rules as we did in the morning.”
It’s A Long Road Home is a reflective exploration of ageing, self-discovery, and the soul’s journey toward inner peace.
In his youth, Doug McPhillips traced a river from its source to the ocean. Decades later, he discovered that his own life had followed a similar path—slowing, deepening, and reflecting the wisdom gathered through experience.
Blending personal reflection with Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow self, this book invites readers to embrace life’s transitions, confront their inner struggles, and discover the quiet wisdom found within.
