The Gods in Everyone with Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D.

MP3 Jean Bolen describes a new psychological perspective of woman based on images of women--provided by the Greek goddesses--that have stayed alive in human imagination for over three thousand years. This theory emerges from observing the diversity of patterns and variations among women. Bolen describes seven archetypal patterns embodied in seven of the Greek goddesses. In knowing which “goddess” is present, a woman can have a deeper understanding of everyday occurrences as well as more dramatic events--not to mention the benefits men can realize through a better understanding of the female psyche. Listen in and you may enjoy an “Aha!” experience in recognizing your own goddesses within.
