The King Within: Accessing the King in the Male Psyche by Robert L. Moore & Douglas Gillette The archetypal image of the liberating, life-giving King lurks within every man's psyche, according to Jungian psychoanalyst Moore and pastoral counselor Gillette, coauthors of King, Warrior, Magician, Lover. Here they bid readers to "access and utilize our King energy," warning that men who repress the inner King suffer from aimlessness and depression and may even be possessed by the King's bipolar Shadow, which turns the male ego into either a Tyrant or a Weakling. Their ideal Generative Man "may be communist or capitalist, industrialist or peasant. He may be an animal-rights advocate or a whale hunter, and is as much a poet as a soldier." The writing is not always this vague and silly, but only men's movement enthusiasts are apt to follow the authors' arduous prescriptions for dream analysis, prayer, "active imagination," Ego-archetype dialogue, and meditation on pyramids or images of Egyptian pharaohs, Assyrian kings, swords and suits of armor.

From the Hearts of Men by Yevrah Ornstein Within the hearts of men lie secret yearnings, needs and fears that have long been held captive by the taboos of society. The authentic voices in this book, and the magnificent spirit that enobles them, cry out to be heard. Read them and your view of men will never be the same. Here are some comments from readers: "The search for a real dad is one of the most moving things I have ever read." "Thank you for taking me, a woman, into the heart, mind and soul of a man." "This is a great eye-opener!" From the Hearts of Men requires that we take a whole new look at the idea that men cannot speak with passion and sensitivity about their hopes, fears, dreams, hungers, needs, and about what they have to offer as men. To all who love the depths, I recommend this book." (this last comment by Keith Thompson, co-author with poet Robert Bly of What Men Really Want and author of To Be a Man--In Search of the Deep Masculine.
Inward Bound:: Exploring the Geography of Your Emotions by Sam Keen In this book, Sam Keen guides us on an enlightening journey across the emotional landscape of our own inner psyches. Using self-tests and practical advice, Inward Bound teachers us to master the art of emotional literacy -- how to understand what our minds and bodies are really telling us through the ups and downs of our emotions.
Paying special attention to "negative" emotions such as fatigue, depression, grief, and especially boredom -- the undiagnosed disease from which most "normal" people suffer -- Keen shows us how the low periods in our lives can actually be the impetus for the most profound and lasting change. While most people deny emotional lows in the hopes that they will go away; eat, drink, or tranquilize themselves; take mood elevators; or otherwise fill their time with empty activities, Keen instead teachers us how to re-vision negative emotions as positive way stations on the path to self-discovery.
In Inward Bound, Keen shows us how to recover the full spectrum of our feelings and points the reader on a journey to greater health, intimacy, vitality, and a renewed joy in life.
The Secret of the Shadow:: The Power of Owning Your Story by Debbie Ford The Secret of the Shadow urges readers to create a fresh meaning about their formative experiences, especially the painful ones, and use them to plan a more purposeful and authentic life. Ford believes that each person is born with unique gifts and a divine purpose, which are lost when we create a "story"--a collection of beliefs--that manufactures a false self and casts a shadow to hide our uniqueness and prevent us from success in work and love. As she explains, "the key is to stop chasing the feel-good moments and make peace with our stories so we can understand, accept and embrace everything in the past that has caused us pain." Once we stop trying to change the painful parts of our story, we will discover the divine plan for our lives.
