Description
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.

"In a world where gender roles are shifting, and many men feel pressured to conform to conflicting societal expectations, ranging from traditional stoic masculinity to having emotional intelligence, King, Warrior, Magician, Lover provides a way for balancing these forces. It shows that true strength comes from integrating all aspects of the self, avoiding the pitfalls of hyper-masculinity or emotional repression." -- Gents Café
