In the last weekend`s podcast of Psyche & Soul Jose Parappully (sumedhacentre@gmail.com) spoke of four kinds of journeys resulting from the quest for meaning and purpose in life. What triggers this quest is what Elliott Jacques, the first to introduce the concept of midlife into psychological and social discourse, termed ``emotional awareness of one`s mortality.``
