King, Warrior, Magician, Lover: Rediscovering the Archetypes of the Mature Masculine by Doug Gillette, Robert Moore
3.0
I picked up this book on recommendation and I’ve slowly been reading it in the mornings as part of my daily practice.
This male-centric book isn’t one that I would have sought out on my own. It uses the Jungian concept of archetypes, which I don’t fully resonate with. However, there is value here, (especially as a self described feminist) in reading a book written by men, for men. It’s very interesting to see where men think that they are successful, or failing. It’s interesting to read a perspective on what /why/ men act the way they do, and what is to be done about it in a way that doesn’t immediately vilify the masculine.
