“These stories offer the wisdom of the
ages about masculinity and its gifts to society. They describe new
archetypal possibilities for men and their changing ways.”
—— Robert A. Johnson, author of He, She,
and Moving Heaven and Earth
“This spirited book brings forth the
Trickster as a teacher for man. Using lively fairy tales, Chinen shows
the Trickster as a very ancient figure in the male psyche. Honoring the
Trickster will help some men to get free from their obsession with the
Hero.”
—— Robert W. Bly, author of Iron John, A Little
Book on the Human Shadow
“Beyond the Hero is articulate, insightful
and thoughtful. Chinen takes us deep into the roots of the male psyche,
making a significant and nourishing contribution to the new psychology
of men.”
—— Aaron Kipnis, author of Angry Young Men,
Knights without Armor
“Chinen's work provides much-needed,
important and fresh insights into myth and masculinity, leaving the
reader feeling and thinking someone has shown us more about ourselves
and how ancient stories can heal present wounds.”
—— John Lee, author of The Flying Boy
“Beyond the Hero is helpful for men
seeking to make the shift from a patriarchal, hierarchical, power-based
mode to a more spiritual orientation.”
—— Linda Leonard, author of Creation's
Heartbeat, Meeting the Madwoman, Witness to the Fire
“Because story and myth have an
astonishing power to unlock men's feelings, I know this book will prove
a potent tool for man on their solo journeys and in dynamic groups.”
—— Bill Kauth, author of A Circle of Men
