En savoir plus sur le livre

In this enlightening companion to the bestselling Goddesses in Everywoman, Jean Shinoda Bolen explores the powerful inner patterns, or archetypes, that shape men's personalities, careers, and relationships. She presents these archetypes as the inner counterparts to cultural stereotypes, demonstrating how both men and women can achieve a sense of wholeness when their actions align with their true selves. Bolen introduces eight archetypal gods, or personality types, that readers can identify with, ranging from authoritarian figures like Zeus and Poseidon to creative gods like Apollo and Hephaestus, as well as the sensual Dionysus. She guides men in recognizing their dominant archetypes, deciding which to cultivate or overcome, and harnessing the power of these enduring patterns to enhance their lives. Additionally, Bolen emphasizes the significance of understanding the gods one is drawn to and their compatibility with personal expectations. She delves into the often-challenging father-son dynamic and examines society's conflict between nurturing behavior and the need to embody masculinity. This work offers a compassionate and insightful perspective on male psychology, helping readers better understand themselves and their relationships with fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers.
