The Lover Within: Accessing the Lover in the Male Psyche by Robert L. Moore & Douglas Gillette In this final volume in the four-book series that began with The King Within , Jungian analyst Moore and mythologist Gillette, a counselor, examine the Lover archetype within the male psyche (the others are the King, the Warrior, and the Magician -- each examined in a previous volume). The authors trace how the Lover -- the feeling side of men's nature -- gives rise to passion, creativity and the pursuit of pleasure. Through the Lover's energy, the conscious mind may encounter the personal and collective unconscious. However, the authors contend, because many men fear being consumed -- and thus emasculated -- by the Lover's energy, they suppress their feelings and creative instincts. At the opposite extreme, a man can become possessed by the Lover, which then manifests itself as an addictive personality (whether to alcohol, drugs, food or relationships). A potpourri of Jungian theory and mythology, with anecdotes from Moore's workshops and private practice, this book attempts to show men how to get in touch
Book of Secrets:: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life by Deepak Chopra Every life is a book of secrets, ready to be opened. The secret of perfect love is found there, along with the secrets of healing, compassion, faith, and the most elusive one of all: who we really are. We are still mysteries to ourselves, despite the proximity of these answers, and what we most long to know remains lodged deep inside.
We all want to know how to find a soul mate, what career would be most fulfilling, how to live a life with meaning, and how to teach our children well. We are looking for a personal breakthrough, a turning point, a revelation that brings with it new meaning. The Book of Secrets--a crystalline distillation of insights and wisdom accumulated over the lifetime of one of the great spiritual thinkers of our time--provides an exquisite new tool for achieving just that.

Black Fathers: A Call for Healing by Kristin Clark Taylor Our fathers of yesterday -- and the countless, faceless fathers of today who too often go unnoticed and unappreciated -- are the reason we need to rejoice. These strong black men were and are the backbone of the family unit, holding things together as the stress and strain of daily life does all it can to stretch and tear apart the fabric of our family lives. These are the men we celebrate. These are the fathers we thank."
In Black Fathers, author Kristin Clark Taylor examines the "gaping hole where our fathers used to stand" and refuses to "mince words... or dance daintily around the ugliness of the absentee father." Yet Taylor also offers "shared quotes, personal stories, and inspiring life lessons... that redeem and uplift those fathers who are there," those fathers "who reach out to their child during both the happy and the sad times, or when the one thing that child wants more than anything in the world is to hold his daddy's hand and secure that special place in his heart."
