"A map for men...[Moore and Gillette] are handing men concrete images and explicit ways of thinking and being, ways to mature and still remain fully masculine."--Chicago Sun-Times
The classic guide to the four essential male archetypes.
Masculinity is on trial, leaving many men feeling lost, threatened, or unable to clearly express themselves. Instead of leading to internal growth and maturity, paradigms like "toxic masculinity" and "man up!" ultimately lead to men and boys feeling isolated, angry, and unable to hold steady and healthy relationships--with themselves and others. King, Warrior, Magician, Lover dispels these and other common myths and stereotypes and offers a new framework from the field of masculine psychology for understanding men and their many facets--and the societal and emotional factors that make us who we are.
In this classic guide, 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. Through a psychological lens, they 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
- 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). Essential for anyone interested in Jungian analysis or men's work, this guide uses the practice of shadow work and reflective prompts to offer space for understanding our individual strengths and weaknesses, and the self-awareness that can be gained in the process.
King, Warrior, Magician, Lover is a must read for men searching for a map to personal growth, secure attachments in relationships, healthy emotional regulation, a deep sense of purpose, and the strength it takes to be selfless--and for all of us who love and raise them. Deepen your understanding of yourself and your archetype to become a more empathetic, assured, and fulfilled man.
