Rating: - Just read them all...
Robert Johnson does it again with a wonderful archetypal tale and how it relates to modern woman. A must read for Jung addicts, as well as those branching out a bit intellectually from the Mars/Venus stuff. Be sure to grab "HE" and "WE" by the same author.

Though the book's audience appears to be targeted towards the feminine, that does not necessarily mean just woman. It inspires reflection, understanding, and compassion towards ourselves as well as those around us.

This is a book to read and re-read.

Rating: - complex & obtuse
I admit, I didn't get it. I bought this book on the strong recommendation of a psychology major, who praised He, She & We (all three books by Johnson). Perhaps my lack of understanding of Jungian theory interfered with my ability to glean meaning from the text.

The book is a short, readable eighty pages, developed around the Greek myth of Eros and Psyche. In Johnson's explanation of how femininity evolves (including the man's feminine side, or anima), a person must go through certain rites ... Read More
