The Boy Who Married an Eagle: Myths and Stories About Male Individuation Audio Cassette – Unabridged, 1 Feb. 1995

The masculine soul needs to have means to understand itself. How much richer and more satisfying would life be when it's understood and valued properly. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a great scholar and a skillful storyteller. We all love stories. We need them, they teach and heal us, they give inspiration and insight, they illuminate the life path. When your own understanding matures, you'll have what it takes to find your inner resources and life becomes so much more.

Amazon's description of this product is very misleading. I thought I was ordering a collection of coming of age stories for boys. Not so! I found it to be deeply disturbing myself, never mind my 13 yr. old son. This might be of interest to a college-level student studying myths and folklore. Even so, you'll have to put up with a nauseatingly self-righteous voice in a very annoying tone.

Incrediply deep and thoughtfull. Fairy tales and myths as background for a very topical thinking. I learned a lot from this audio-casette. Another piece by Pincola Estés that is absolutely worth to read/hear to. You will find how old Indian myths could help us to understand our everyday lives. Mrs. Pinkola Estés deals with women particularly in their books - Boy who married and eagle is one of very few pieces told by her devoted to men's psyche.
