Gods in Everyman: Archetypes That Shape Men's Lives

Jean Shinoda Bolen, author of several books on the archetypal gods and goddesses in our lives, is a thoughtful writer whose prose is easy to handle, being not only easy to understand but filled with interesting examples from life. I liked both books, Gods In Every Man and Goddesses In Everywoman. I am about to teach a course on the role of the Greeks, their stories, of Ulysses, the gods and the goddesses in our lives today. This book was a "god" send, and both were highly recommended by a teacher who teaches courses that deal with Carl Jung and his writings. Both books give an excellent overview of many of the players in the Greek Olympian panoply of gods and goddesses and so it's also by way of introduction to a fascinating subject, well researched, well written, and totally engaging.

If you are a fan of Carl Jung, often think in images / pictures, interested in psychology, and want to learn more about yourself - this is a fascinating book with a lot of insight.

The book was very interesting and pretty easy to read. I do feel some of the explanation here and there was lacking and at times hard to follow the Greek Deities from memory without much further explanation. Other than that I did learn a lot and really had fun reading it, I would recommend it to any friend wanting a little insight into a man.

"Gods in Everyman" by Jean Shinoda Bolen will be a permanent reference book for me. Invaluable information for navigating relationships with everyone in our life experiences.This book is organised beautifully and easy to use. I have used this book for about six months now as research for writing.Perfect for gift giving.Thank you Jean Shinoda Bolen!

My wife had read her goddesses in every woman and recommended this book to me. It was highly readable and enjoyable. I think any male reader would find himself in part or whole in the descriptions in the book.

I recently finished reading Jean Shinoda Bolen's book on archetypes in women over 50 and found it to be exceptional. I purchased other of her work and this one on men's archetypes is providing me, as a woman, insight into the male behaviour. I find it to be very informative. She has a way of describing the archetypes that grasps your thoughts and runs with them.

Jean did it again and used the viewpoint of the God's as archetypes. My brother liked it.Not a replacement of Women running with wolves for me, but a shirt description of each archetypes.

One of my favorite Jungian authors has written a book that I keep giving away. I have given it to young fathers trying to understand their sons, I have given it to friends trying to understand themselves, I have given it to collegues trying to understand their patients, and I give it to myself by reading every now and then.If you want a framework, a language, a reference point to understand and discuss men's issues....this a great book. I used it in a workshop I led for psychiatric residents and for three years heard references to it in our discussions and supervision.

Uma boa compra pra quem é interessado em psicologia analítica ou mesmo em mitologia, a autora faz uma análise de cada arquétipo dos deuses nas personalidades masculinas.

An interesting read on male archetypes.

Es una edición cómoda, no pesa y tiene un buen tamaño de letra. Al ser una edición revisada de 25 aniversario, la introducción es nueva.

Essential reference for psychotherapists wishing to explore male archetypes.My other copy is abroad.

Just sheer genius! I couldn't help reaching out to my Facebook feed to express the emotion I felt after completing this book and Gods in Everywoman! Beautiful flow of thoughts, ideas and insight! The parallels to real life were deeply steeped in truth. I felt like I could literally crawl inside each God and/or Goddess and see through their eyes...or at least, someone I knew. Thank you for initiating me into the world of Archetypes. It's now my passion too.
