Možná znáte ženu, které nechybí vášeň, moudrost, humor, odvaha a životní elán. Ženu, která věří sobě a tomu, co ví. Silnou bytost, která neodvrací zrak před skutečností, jakkoliv je složitá a náročná. Tu, která si uvědomuje vlastní i cizí nedostatky a místo tvrdého odsouzení pro ně má spíše laskavé pochopení. Je příjemné pobývat v její blízkosti. Ale ještě lepší jen se jí stát.
This classic work of female psychology introduces seven archetypal goddesses to describe behavior patterns and personality traits, now presented to a new generation with an updated introduction by the author. Psychoanalyst Jean Bolen gained prominence in the early 1980s with her groundbreaking publication, captivating thousands of women who sought to identify their inner goddesses. Bolen's innovative premise suggests that women, previously unaware of the impact of cultural stereotypes, also overlook powerful archetypal forces within themselves that shape their actions and emotions, contributing to significant differences among them. She argues that understanding these inner patterns and their interconnections offers empowering alternatives that transcend traditional dichotomies such as masculine/feminine or careerist/housewife. Through the lens of seven archetypal goddesses—like the independent Artemis, the wise Athena, the nurturing Demeter, and the creative Aphrodite—Bolen illustrates how women can identify which traits to cultivate or overcome. She emphasizes that tapping into these enduring archetypes can lead to greater self-knowledge and wholeness, enabling women to become the heroines of their own life stories.
In its original edition, this culmination of Jean Shinoda Bolen's life's work sold over 25,000 copies.

This unique combination of visionary thinking and practical how-to seeks to galvanize the power of women acting together in order to save our world. Bolen outlines the lessons we can learn from the women's movement, draws on Jungian psychology and the sacred feminine, and gives powerful examples of women coming together all over the globe and making a significant impact.
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.
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.

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.
