She

Understanding Feminine Psychology

By: Robert A. Johnson

Narrated by: Josh Bloomberg

What does it mean to be a woman? What is the pathway to mature femininity? And what of the masculine components of a woman's personality? Robert A. Johnson explores these questions in this new edition of She, updated to reflect the growth of his thinking on these subjects.

Many writers and scholars have long considered that the ancient myth of Amor and Psyche is really the story of a woman's task of becoming whole, complete, and individuated. Here, examining this ancient story in depth and lightening up the details, Johnson has produced an arresting and perceptive exploration of what it means to become a woman. You will not listen to this book without understanding the important women in your life and a good deal more about yourself as a woman.

Something to ponder

I feel like i thought everyone k ew what it meant to be a “she” but I now realize what healing qualities we embody and the mystery we hold. I’d like to listen again.

She-a Jungian classic must read

Robert Johnson is one of my favorite Jungian scholars. i have read and re-read this entire series (He, She,We) many times and gained insights into relationships with myself and partners. His simplicity and clarity of writing about myths open up avenues in the psyche for transformation. The narration was paced just right and Josh's voice made the listening easy.

Thought Provoking

A very thought provoking book, despite it's short length. If anyone is unfamiliar with the Eros & Psyche myth, this sums it up very well while also emphasizing the dichotomy of the message, symbolism and psychology of the feminine.

Great look into psychology of a woman but felt a little lacking

Only lacking in drawing comparisons between the myth/psychology/modern life. It remained a bit too elusive for me. Would have appreciated more substance in that form. Will have to listen to this again in order to draw out more of my own conclusions and understanding.

This is divine understanding of the feminine

I like to review this book every few years. The insights provided outweigh the cost of this story by leaps and bounds.
