Crossing the Unknown Sea is about reuniting the imagination with our day to day lives. It shows how poetry and practicality, far from being mutually exclusive, reinforce each other to give every aspect of our lives meaning and direction. For anyone who wants to deepen their connection to their life’s work—or find out what their life’s work is—this book can help navigate the way. - from the publisher

There are parts of this book I found interesting and other times it wanders off with bringing other metaphors to light but not resolving the thought. I bought this book less than a year after it was published and started it, only to pick it up 20 plus years later to finish the second half. The chapter 5, Fionn and the Salmon of Knowledge was the best section. Describing working in one's 50's and beyond still holds true in 2023.

A deep, serious and provoking reflection on the wholeness of our life (our beloved, our work, ourselves) which tries to go beyond the "work-life balance" rhetorics to find more meaningful insights, often coming from the author's experience or from the lives of great personalities.
