Reseña: With an uncommon geniality and good humor bestselling author Jean Shinoda Bolen demonstrates how mythology can illuminate psychology. In this study the respected Jungian analyst transcends the personal sphere to focus on the family and patriarchal society. Using Richard Wagner s four-opera cycle The Ring of Nibelung as a framework the author investigates the psychological origins and destructive capacity of authoritarian institutions. Each of the four central chapters of the book examines one of Wagner s operas which the author links to a particular Jungian archetype. In doing so the book reveals profound truths about humanity human relations and society that can be highly transformative. In concluding Shinoda Bolen outlines a possible post-patriarchal society and how each individual can help in forming it by living a life centered on authenticity.
