Rating: Summary: thought provoking and encouraging Review: With her wonderfully soothing voice, Clarissa Pincola Estes relates archetypical stories and their meanings to the listener. The book prompted me to reflect on my life, and how I should surround myself with supportive individuals. It also made me realize that I was not as emotionally supportive of others as I thought I was, and how I could change. In a sense, it gave me permission to relax and be myself. I would recommend this tape to both young and old. Bitterness is such a terrible fate. After all, do you want to be a crusty curmudgeon sitting in the corner, criticizing everyone, or do you want to be passionate, vibrant, individual, dancing through your life?
