Synopsis
Jungian analyst Robert Moore and mythologist Douglas Gillette combine in this book that attempts to break the code on the structure of the mature masculine personality. Examining the four mature archtypes: the King (energy of creative ordering), the Warrior (energy of non-violent aggressive action), the Magician (energy of initiation and transformation) and the Lover (energy to connect men to others and the world). The authors argue that a man's failure or success in life depends on achieving access to the archetypal energies.

Roberts "nate_jones_uk" (London, UK) - See all my reviews    REally insightful book. Lots of useful information on male archetypes and their shadows - not really an ideal first book for someone looking into male issues, but for those who's already done some exploring it's definitely worth having. The one criticism I would have is that some fo the prose is a little turgid and it takes some concentration to read and absorb. Well worth making the effort though!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Magos (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews    This is one of those "Must Read" books that goes on some analysis of the building block of the human personality. It is not to be considered as a New Age book (even if the authors' approach is definitely New Age), because it's based on Jungian Psychoanalysis. The authors give a quite good look at four personality traits of humans and how they are (rightfully) represented by the unconscious by four Archetypes, and not on someone's "hunch". There is a discussion on how each of these traits manifest in a personality when it's too active, passive, and also when it's manifested properly, which I personally found quite spot on. Also, there is a section which shows how how to equilibrate these energies in one's self, and although their approach is seems tacky, it somehow works, although I would have preferred a more pyscho-analytical approach. Maybe the writing style is not the best, but in this case I think the message it conveys is far more important.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Each of these has an immature form, and may be expressed in an u
