Sinossi
I furtivi ladri che compaiono nei nostri sogni, gli assassini che a volte ci procurano risvegli traumatici sono solo alcuni dei volti dell'Ombra che l'autore ci aiuta a decifrare in questo agile e acuto volume. Fu lo psicanalista svizzero Cari G. Jung a descrivere per primo le figure e gli aspetti dell'Ombra; da allora, l'attenzione per questa 'immagine del profondo' non ha fatto che aumentare nel vasto pubblico e in campi d'interesse più ampi dell'ambito strettamente psicanalitico. Per Robert Bly, l'Ombra è una sorta di 'sacco' che ciascuno porta sulle spalle e in cui ripone tutti gli aspetti della propria personalità che non gli piacciono. In questo libro, arricchito da una prefazione del noto psicanalista Claudio Rise, l'autore delinea gli itinerari che permettono di 'svuotare' questo sacco, di guardarsi dentro e di fare pace con la parte più nascosta di se stessi.

Simple: This book should be required reading for every human. It concisely describes the most powerful human decision making engine, which our culture refuses to acknowledge, the shadow, which has been identified as the "id" and "super-ego" by Freud and the "collective unconscious" by a smarter guy
Robert Bly has this wonderful Jungian lens through which he sees the world. Here he is discussing the subconscious mind, which he represents with the metaphor of the shadow. The book is distilled from three or four poetry readings he gave in the 1970s. He wants us to be in touch with our dark side,
This book’s foreword starts by saying that the reader should not go on unless he is willing to change his life. It mentions a warning from Jacob Boehme before one of his books saying that going on not willing to make changes will make the book bad for him. It is appropriate, and even for that forewor Leggi tutto
Bloviant. I am making up that word just for this book. Coarse opinions masquerading as poetic depth. When a poet has a stupid personality, it shows. Every bloviant detail. This book exposed more superficial opinions and obtuse viewpoints than I could bother to digest. It exposed me to the fact that th Leggi tutto
I strongly believe the title to be deceiving. Expected a lot more & was disappointed . Had to sift through pages and pages of poetry, Politics in 80's America, and Wallace Stevens, to find something I could make sense of. I understand why so many people appreciate it, but to me it was a huge pile of Leggi tutto
`One of the things we need to do as Americans is to work hard individually at eating our shadows, and so make sure that we are not releasing energy which can then be picked up by the politicians, who can use it against Russia, China, or the South American countries.` This is a little gem of a book.
There was some really helpful stuff in this book, especially the stuff on repression and projection Personally though, he uses a lot of poetry to get his points across, and I'm still not big on poetry.
