Acerca de esta escucha
A remarkable exploration of power, addiction, and love.
“The Lure of the Ring compellingly captures the essence of addiction, the seduction of power, and the nature of embodied spiritual transformation. I highly recommend this wise and engaging book.” (Richard Rohr, OFM, founder, Center for Action and Contemplation)
Authors Alan James Strachan, PhD, and Janet Coster, MA, MA, draw upon decades of clinical expertise, a lifetime of spiritual practice and integration, and communication skills finely honed by counseling, teaching, and writing.
Concerned about present-day uses - and abuses - of power?
"The Lure of the Ring eloquently examines the psychology of power, showing how the human psyche can balance power, love, and integrity. A 'must read' as it is so relevant for human beings, individually and collectively at this time in history!” (Angeles Arrien, PhD)
Curious about the intersection of psychology and spirituality?
Drawing upon transpersonal psychology, nondual spirituality, and a psychodynamic understanding of the personality, The Lure uses characters from The Lord of the Rings to illustrate the different stages of emotional and spiritual development.
A fan of The Lord of the Rings?
The Lure of the Ring will take you on a fascinating journey through the hearts and minds of some of Tolkien’s most colorful characters, exploring with depth and insight how they respond to the allure of the One Ring and providing a novel and thought-provoking answer to the most puzzling question in Tolkien lore: “Who is Tom Bombadil?”
Interested in addiction?
The Lure of the Ring offers a clear and compelling description of the psychodynamics of addiction, explaining how it arises from the deepest levels of the personality.
Pursuing personal insight?
The Lure of the Ring provides an invaluable opportunity for listeners to explore more deeply their own relationship to power, addiction, love, and the path of personal development.

Beren was a mortal man, but Lúthien was an immortal Elf. Her father, a great Elvish lord, was deeply opposed to Beren, and imposed on him an impossible task that he must perform before he might wed Lúthien. Undaunted by Lord Thingol’s challenge, Beren and Lúthien embark on the supremely heroic attempt to rob Morgoth, the greatest of all evil beings, of a Silmaril, one of the hallowed jewels that adorn the Black Enemy’s crown.

J.R.R. Tolkien famously described the Second Age of Middle-earth as a ‘dark age, and not very much of its history is (or need be) told’. And for many years readers would need to be content with the tantalizing glimpses of it found within the pages of The Lord of the Rings and its appendices, including the forging of the Rings of Power, the building of the Barad-dûr and the rise of Sauron.

Tolkien’s Requiem explores the tale of Beren and Lúthien as a doorway into the vast early history of Middle-earth, an era which forms the backdrop for the beloved stories of Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Gandalf, and Aragorn. For fans of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings hungry for more of Middle-earth, yet daunted by The Silmarillion’s complexity, Tolkien’s Requiem serves as a concise introduction to the themes and stories of the First Age.

Farmer Giles of Ham did not look like a hero. He was fat and red-bearded and enjoyed a slow, comfortable life. Then one day a rather deaf and short-sighted giant blundered on to his land. More by luck than skill, Farmer Giles managed to scare him away. The people of the village cheered: Farmer Giles was a hero. His reputation spread far and wide across the kingdom. So it was natural that when the dragon Chrysophylax visited the area it was Farmer Giles who was expected to do battle with it!

In the first chapter, Tolle introduces listeners to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind.

Join Joseph Pearce as he explores the great theological depth of the most popular work of literature in the 20th century, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Despite the absence of any direct mention of Christ or the Catholic Church, Tolkien described his work as "fundamentally religious and Catholic." He was able to infuse his fictional world with theological orthodoxy through his creation of myth and a world order. Endowing his protagonists with Christian virtues, he also incorporated themes of grace and mercy.

Perhaps you've had one of those moments when everything, quite unexpectedly, simply falls into place; or, when you've been puzzling over an impossible question and - pow! - the answer suddenly arises, seemingly out of nowhere. These and other such experiences are not caused by our efforts. They are moments of grace, the gift dimension of life. Grace is generally associated with religion, but, as Dave Richo shows, you don't need to be religious to notice - and benefit from - this help from outside yourself that's being offered to you in every moment.

Great Narration, needlessly convoluted writing
While I liked this somewhat and thought the narration was fantastic, it reminded me a bit of my time as a university TA correcting end of year research papers. It felt like the authors were trying to hit a word requirement.
