Understanding the Moments That Touch and Transform Our Lives Who hasn't experienced that eerie coincidence, that sudden, baffling insight, that occasional flash of extrasensory perception that astonishes? Can these events be dismissed as mere chance, or do they have some deeper significance for us? The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of this classic explores the inter-relationship between these meaningful coincidences and our intuitive sense that we are part of some deep oneness with the universe -- a oneness called Tao in Eastern philosophy and synchronicity in Jungian psychology. By relating the concepts of Tao and synchronicity, Dr. Bolen reveals important links between psychology and mysticism, right brain and left, the individual and the external world. The Tao of Psychology provides the key for each individual to interpret the synchronistic events in his or her life and gives fresh insight into the relationships, dreams, and flashes of perception that transform our existence.
Quando percepiamo la sincronicità, ci sentiamo come parte di una matrice cosmica, come partecipanti del Tao. La sincronicità ci offre uno sguardo all'interno della realtà: c'è, di fatto, un legame tra tutti noi e tutti gli esseri viventi, tra noi e l'universo.

A classic work of female psychology introduces seven archetypal goddesses to describe behavior patterns and personality traits, now presented to a new generation with a fresh introduction by the author. Psychoanalyst Jean Bolen gained prominence in the early 1980s when her influential work captivated thousands of women eager to discover their inner goddesses. These archetypes serve as guides toward enhanced self-esteem, creativity, and happiness. Bolen's groundbreaking idea highlights that women, often unaware of the impact of cultural stereotypes, also overlook the powerful archetypal forces within them that shape their actions and emotions, accounting for significant differences among individuals. She argues that understanding these inner patterns and their interconnections offers women true alternatives that transcend limiting dichotomies like masculine/feminine or careerist/housewife. Through the lens of seven archetypal goddesses—ranging from the independent Artemis and the rational Athena to the nurturing Demeter and the artistic Aphrodite—Bolen illustrates how to identify which traits to cultivate or overcome. By harnessing the power of these enduring archetypes, women can become the heroines of their own life stories.

In this beautifully written and profoundly affecting new book, Dr. Jean Shinoda Bolen explores what it means when serious illness brings one "close to the bone": close to the soul's needs. As in her critically acclaimed best-seller Goddesses in Everywoman, the author weaves myth, experience, and story to produce a book which at once illuminates the experience of the seriously ill patient and shows that facing one's mortality can be a life-transforming, and even a life-saving, process. Close to the Bone follows the patients and their loved ones on a path which, soon after diagnosis, brings them into a kind of underworld of experience, a state of emotional trauma that has the potential to strip away what become merely superfluous concerns, focusing the individual on what is truly important. This process can be enhanced by prayer, meditation, participation in rituals, the sharing of stories, and a deeper and more honest level of communication with those we love and with ourselves.
Il mondo degli dèi greci, con le sue vicende leggendarie e i suoi miti, non è morto per sempre ma tuttora esercita su di noi un forte influsso grazie al suo potere archetipico. Per l'uomo contemporaneo, i miti degli dèi dell'Olimpo sono ancora uno specchio in cui può leggere un'immagine della sua psiche e capire il senso della sua sofferenza profonda, della scissione che ha dovuto produrre in se stesso per corrispondere alle aspettative del mondo esterno. In questo seguito naturale di Le dee dentro la donna, l'autrice studia l'universo maschile. Si rivolge agli uomini, per aiutarli a conoscere meglio se stessi, ma parla anche alle donne e le aiuta nel difficile compito di comprendere i loro compagni maschili.
Mit einer ungewöhnlichen Genialität und einem guten Humor zeigt die Bestsellerautorin Jean Shinoda Bolen, wie Mythologie die Psychologie erhellen kann. In dieser Studie überschreitet die angesehene jungianische Analytikerin die persönliche Ebene und konzentriert sich auf die Familie und die patriarchale Gesellschaft. Anhand von Richard Wagners vier-Opern-Zyklus Der Ring des Nibelungen untersucht die Autorin die psychologischen Ursprünge und die zerstörerische Kraft autoritärer Institutionen. Jedes der vier zentralen Kapitel des Buches behandelt eine der Wagnerschen Opern, die die Autorin mit einem bestimmten jungianischen Archetyp verknüpft. Dabei offenbart das Buch tiefgreifende Wahrheiten über die Menschheit, zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen und die Gesellschaft, die sehr transformativ sein können. Abschließend skizziert Shinoda Bolen eine mögliche postpatriarchale Gesellschaft und wie jeder Einzelne dazu beitragen kann, indem er ein Leben führt, das auf Authentizität ausgerichtet ist.
In this enlightening companion to the bestselling Goddesses in Everywoman, Jean Shinoda Bolen explores the powerful inner patterns, or archetypes, that shape men's personalities, careers, and relationships. She presents these archetypes as the inner counterparts to cultural stereotypes, demonstrating how both men and women can achieve a sense of wholeness when their actions align with their true selves. Bolen introduces eight archetypal gods, or personality types, that readers can identify with, ranging from authoritarian figures like Zeus and Poseidon to creative gods like Apollo and Hephaestus, as well as the sensual Dionysus. She guides men in recognizing their dominant archetypes, deciding which to cultivate or overcome, and harnessing the power of these enduring patterns to enhance their lives. Additionally, Bolen emphasizes the significance of understanding the gods one is drawn to and their compatibility with personal expectations. She delves into the often-challenging father-son dynamic and examines society's conflict between nurturing behavior and the need to embody masculinity. This work offers a compassionate and insightful perspective on male psychology, helping readers better understand themselves and their relationships with fathers, sons, brothers, and lovers.
