Editorial Review:

Product Description:
This popular analyst provides important reflections on what it means to be a man, how man develops into maturity, and what components make up man's complex personality.

not all people care to dig through depth psych texts...some need Insight.

this book is a great guide.

After gaining personal insights that I had never seen articulated so well, I gave HE to all my sons -5 - one of whom told me "that HE was a book which should be made mandatory reading for every boy in high school. HE helps put the forces which drive male psycholgy in perspective and balance incredibly well.

Rating: - The Grail serves God in Johnson's interpretation.
This small book actually began with 10 lectures given by Robert Johnson at an Episcopal Church. Thus they are concise and do not offer a broad array of examples. I found the book to be excellent and found it much more to the point that Emma Jung's long study of the Holy Grail myth in all it permutations.

Of course, as a Jungian, Johnson sees mythology as reflecting underlying psychological and spiritual processes that take place in the human psyche. These myths are spontaneous images from ... Read More
