Description
The bestselling, widely heralded, Jungian introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity.
Redefining age-old concepts of masculinity, Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette make the argument that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but generative, creative, and empowering of the self and others. Moore and Gillette clearly define the four mature male archetypes that stand out through myth and literature across history: the king (the energy of just and creative ordering), the warrior (the energy of aggressive but nonviolent action), the magician (the energy of initiation and transformation), and the lover (the energy that connects one to others and the world), as well as the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential (divine child, oedipal child, trickster and hero). King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is an exploratory journey that will help men and women reimagine and deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche.

3By Jason Rommel StormThis was an awesome read. Got it as a gift, during a very tough time in my life, and it wrapped up a lot of my problems in a nutshell. I read it over the course of a few months, and it’s like each time I read it, I was experiencing in my life what I was reading currently. Especially the warrior, magician and lover chapters I feel like this is the type of book you can go back to to refocus you’re life when you get off track. 5 stars, and I want my little brother to read it.Great book full of knowledge
