Description

Iron John: A Search for a New Vision of Manhood Robert Bly's Iron John explores the idea that traditional images of masculinity are no longer sufficient for men. Drawing on psychology, anthropology, mythology, folklore, and legend, Bly searches for a new understanding of what it means to be a man. He examines the concept of the Wild Man, a figure reminiscent of the Wild Woman, and compares it to the wisdom of a Zen priest, a shaman, or a woodman. This book is not a dry work of scholarship, but a personal and emotional journey. Bly's writing is poetic and evocative, as he seeks to convey the emotional experience of his own journey and lead readers to discover new insights. Iron John is a unique and thought-provoking work that challenges readers to rethink their understanding of masculinity. A timely and powerful exploration of the human condition, Iron John is a book that needs to be read and experienced.
