Gods in Everyman: Archetypes That Shape Men's Lives

great book, explains a lot about humans and patterns of their behavior

Jean Shinoda Bolen, author of several books on the archetypal gods and goddesses in our lives, is a thoughtful writer whose prose is easy to handle, being not only easy to understand but filled with interesting examples from life. I liked both books, Gods In Every Man and Goddesses In Everywoman. I am about to teach a course on the role of the Greeks, their stories, of Ulysses, the gods and the goddesses in our lives today. This book was a "god" send, and both were highly recommended by a teacher who teaches courses that deal with Carl Jung and his writings. Both books give an excellent overview of many of the players in the Greek Olympian panoply of gods and goddesses and so it's also by way of introduction to a fascinating subject, well researched, well written, and totally engaging.

I'm so great ful for this read. I had also read goddesses in every woman. Both amazing. I learned so much and think I can understand better myself, my kids, the world through this lense.

I really like Bolen's approach and her writing style. Understandable and clear, Bolen's knowledge of this topic is wide and deep. I'd recommend this book for anyone curious about archetypes.

"Gods in Everyman" by Jean Shinoda Bolen will be a permanent reference book for me. Invaluable information for navigating relationships with everyone in our life experiences. This book is organised beautifully and easy to use. I have used this book for about six months now as research for writing. Perfect for gift giving. Thank you Jean Shinoda Bolen!

If you are a fan of Carl Jung, often think in images / pictures, interested in psychology, and want to learn more about yourself - this is a fascinating book with a lot of insight.

Jean did it again and used the viewpoint of the God's as archetypes. My brother liked it. Not a replacement of Women running with wolves for me, but a shirt description of each archetypes.

I have every one of Jean Bolen's books and love them all. this one gives great insights about Men's archetypes and I use this and "goddesses in everywoman" as part of the teaching materials for my Romance classes.

Essential reference for psychotherapists wishing to explore male archetypes. My other copy is abroad.

Tolles Buch. Sollte jeder lesen.

Uma boa compra pra quem é interessado em psicologia analítica ou mesmo em mitologia, a autora faz uma análise de cada arquétipo dos deuses nas personalidades masculinas.

Just sheer genius! I couldn't help reaching out to my Facebook feed to express the emotion I felt after completing this book and Gods in Everywoman! Beautiful flow of thoughts, ideas and insight! The parallels to real life were deeply steeped in truth. I felt like I could literally crawl inside each God and/or Goddess and see through their eyes...or at least, someone I knew. Thank you for initiating me into the world of Archetypes. It's now my passion too.

Interesting perspective
