Iron John

De: Robert Bly

Narrado por: Richard Ferrone

In this national best-seller, Robert Bly explores the idea of the missing father in contemporary society. He draws upon a cornucopia of legend and literature - as varied as the poetry of William Blake, Jungian psychology, and Sioux initiation rituals - to encourage men in their pursuit of the “inner warrior.”

Superior

Difficult to convey Robert Bly. Ferrone delivered. I hear Robert Bly more clearly after this interpretation. Superior.

The words to your feelings

Honored to have someone more adept with their words describe and break down the different “feelings” and nature of masculinity. Easily relatable to current times and the key we are missing in our culture. I hope this book stokes the noble flames inside your belly like it has mine, cheers.

Pretty deep but also pretty weird

This book was very deep but sometimes I felt like he was just speaking gibberish. But I still liked it

Timeless

This book is now a classic that is foundational to various segments of the greater men's movement, but definitely the book for what became known as the mythopoetic men's movement. An excellent resource for a deeper understanding of the soul of men. Reads almost like Joseph Campbell's "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" with many references to classic literature as well as more modern psychology, sociology, and anthropology. All of it expressed in a more streamlined and simple manner, thereby making it easy to understand as a much more practical book and not something highly academic.

Solid Mens book

Loved it, solid Mens book. Why do I need so many words for my review.
