To Be a Woman (New Consciousness Reader)

2 reviews
Connie Zweig

Tarcher, 1990

AN IMPORTANT BOOK FOR OUR TIME
This book taught me a lot about the "feminine" and how it has been repressed for centuries. The thing that makes it so mind opening is that the impact of repressing the feminine affects us all, male and female. Each individual author has their unique stance on the subject and is an accomplished author in their own right. I felt empowered by reading this book and I recommend it highly. I am ...

A Moth to the Flame: The Story of the Great Sufi Poet Rumi

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, Inc., 2007

Insightful, creative, and poetic...
This is a beautifully written, engaging, intimate, and delicate story of Rumi and everyone in his life...I've been quite familiar with Rumi's life and philosophy but until I read this book I only knew him as a historical character, a Sufi Mater, and a poet, but I didn't really know him as a person. A Moth to the Flame with its honest and creative approach shows Rumi as a human being, with all ...

The bottom line is that people don't handle their issues, their defenses, their pain and their disowned parts. Instead of studying their conditioned mind, their own holy ...

Tarcher, 1991

"No one knows what the shadow knows."
This collection of 65 essays from a wide array of Jungian practioners is designed to give us a window into the mysterious world that lives within each of us; the shadow. Each of these essays, in their own unique ways, throws the lid off of our own personal "Pandora's box" and brings us face to face with the disowned and despised parts of who we are: sexual urges, rage, resentment, arrogance, ...

Romancing the Shadow

13 reviews
Connie Zweig, Steve Wolf

Ballantine Books, 1997

Not usually into psychology/self-help
I went through a phase of that when I was teen and never really recovered, but this book is different. I don't know if the term depth psychology applies, but it certainly brings the concept to mind. The author works in Jungian concepts of archetype and shadow and seems to assume familiarity with them. Like many books it has a number of examples, but I found them more detailed and better ...
