Summary: Excellent book but read the companion volume as well
Review: I feel that this book is an essential part of anyone's education. However, it is as important to read the original Godesses in Everywomen as it is to read this one.

Summary: I keeping giving this book to people
Review: 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.

Summary: Incredible
Review: This book provides incredible insight for every novelist who has a central male character in his book. Based on Jung psychology, it explains why American men are like they are today and what they are becoming tomorrow. Also a great tool to analyze the politicians!

Summary: Accurate, Insightful and Profound
Review: This book, together with its companion volume "Gods in EveryWoman" have been foundational in my understanding of my experience of clinical depression. The experience of Persephone speaks very powerfully. Following her myth through I also found that Hades and Dionysus spoke powerfully as well. I have either bought or borrowed every book or article she makes reference to in my myths and some she doesn't. Her evocation of those Gods and Goddesses does justice to all the sources I have found. This is profound stuff.
