About this listen

In this pioneering contribution to the men's movement, Robert Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner "King"—one of the four archetypes of the male psyche. The King Within both responds to the needs formulated by the men's movement and addresses the larger questions of male psychology. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From a central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, each man is challenged to take up his own scepter, to dream, and to make those dreams come true.

A much needed medicine for our collective wounded masculine. The King within all of us needs to be activated in order to re-establish and heal both our psyche, lives and the world. A wise guide into the King archetype with inspirational material for the journey.

Some nice information in this book regarding being a King within your own life. For a short book it is a little bit repetitive.

It is true that man are loosing their way however were moving away from being usurped by rulers who demand a tithe from us. Yes we do have a center within us that is masculine and only when we are centred do we fully realise ourselves. This is an interesting take on something that is a deep and nebulous as our unconscious minds. Men need to take responsibility for their own actions. This book gives only an indication and a point to start from. Good luck seekers. It is a journey that takes a lifetime to realise..

Worth listening to? Yes. Recommended fully.
