Sample Book Insights: #1 When I got home from the 2007 Double A championship season, I was greeted by my mother, who was waiting impatiently for me to get home so she could drive me to work the next morning. I was still part of an event I could always be proud of, but in the grand scheme of the minor league economy, my name in a record book was just that. #2 The life of a minor league baseball player is difficult. You are always waiting for the next season to end so you can find out if you have made the team or not, and then you have to find a job. #3 When I returned home, I had a lot to take care of. I needed a job, transportation, a place to train, and the courage to ask my grandmother for the car. Before all that could happen, I needed to finish raking the leaves from the driveway.
• Explains how to embrace the paradox of the spiritual path—that we are already reflections of the Divine—and manifest our soul’s transcendent nature in everyday life • Provides contemplative and philosophical tools to support the journey to experience the Sacred • Explores mythic stories of soul development and intuition found in Maya and Pythagorean traditions, ancient Egyptian thought, and Zoroastrianism In the mind of the Divine, every person has Infinite, Eternal, and Absolute Worth.

The bestselling, widely heralded, Jungian introduction to the psychological foundation of a mature, authentic, and revitalized masculinity. Redefining age-old concepts of masculinity, Jungian analysts Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette make the argument that mature masculinity is not abusive or domineering, but generative, creative, and empowering of the self and others. Moore and Gillette clearly define the four mature male archetypes that stand out through myth and literature across history: the king (the energy of just and creative ordering), the warrior (the energy of aggressive but nonviolent action), the magician (the energy of initiation and transformation), and the lover (the energy that connects one to others and the world), as well as the four immature patterns that interfere with masculine potential (divine child, oedipal child, trickster and hero). King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is an exploratory journey that will help men and women reimagine and deepen their understanding of the masculine psyche.
Archaeologists have been investigating the ruins of Poverty Point for decades, piecing together a fascinating picture of a 3,500-year-old hunter-gatherer way of life. But Poverty Point is more than an archaeological treasure-trove. It's also an eerie locus for southeastern native lore. Cold breezes on warm nights stir up spirit foxes and singing locusts. Otherworldly messages find their conduit in the drumming of trees and hooting of owls. Archaeologist and author Jon Gibson unearths the strange narratives that are as much a part of Poverty Point as the artifacts and earthworks themselves.
From Hero to Servant to Mystic addresses both the initial and ongoing formation of priests by tracing three significant stages in how their spiritual lives unfold. Fr. Scott Detisch offers seminarians, priests, spiritual directors, and clergy personnel directors a way of understanding the whole gamut of spiritual growth and development in priests by focusing on three major clusters of energies within men—the Hero, the Servant, and the Mystic. By recognizing the difficulties that may arise within the inner life and outer world of a priest, Detisch offers helpful methods for navigating through those challenging periods. By applying these energies to their spiritual lives, priests will experience a different form of relationship with the person of Christ—the Hero, who offers his life for Christ; the Servant, who ministers with Christ; and the Mystic, who lives his life in Christ.
Lost in the fervent call for men to “be more”, is the fact that man already is more than he’s ever been. Almost unreasonably more. Written with the goal of positively impacting the lives of 50 million men (and their families) for generations to come, The 7 Initiatory Fires of Modern Manhood is a practical guidebook and self-development path for modern men. At a high level, The 7 Initiatory Fires of Modern Manhood is built upon the premise that, contrary to popular belief, “initiation” into manhood hasn’t disappeared. It’s simply been misunderstood. And that as a modern man, the grounds for deep and permanent transformation are already present in everyday life. Namely in intimat...
Meticulously researched and rich in personal experience shared as memoir, 'UnEldered' offers insight, inspiration and maps of meaning for a 'post-truth' era. Looking through the lens of traditional culture where 'Elders' were wisdom-keepers and mentors to the young, we ask - what happens we abandon Youth to their own devices? Difficult to pigeon hole, yet cogent and lucid throughout, the book marries the personal and political in a confluence of subject matter including anthropology, psychology, sociology, geopolitics, memoir and suggestions for community practice and self-care. It's founded on the notion that we need to restructure society from the ground up, and calls upon the role of the ...
Within this book, the fields of analytical psychology and sociology combine to examine and explore current social theory and the concept that the author has termed ‘absolute freedom’. This work serves as a vital contribution to contemporary social and psychoanalytic research, unveiling the intricacies of psychological and social dynamics in our current epoch. Stefano Carpani explores the intersection of psychology and sociology, providing a fresh perspective beyond conventional boundaries. It conducts a comparative analysis of C. G. Jung's individuation process and Ulrich Beck's individualization theory, presenting the groundbreaking 'I+I' synthesis. This latter concept acts as a linchpin in deciphering self-identity narratives in the 21st century's dynamic landscape, before the author introduces the concept of absolute freedom, contextualizing it within the multifaceted complexities of contemporary second-late-modern existence. This compelling new book will be of great interest to academics, scholars and students in the fields of analytical psychology, sociology and psychosocial studies.
Providing a personal, informed and cultural perspective on rites of passage for general readers, this text illustrates the power of rites to help us navigate life's troublesome transitions.
