Description

Robert Bly writes that it is clear to men that the images of adult manhood given by popular culture are worn out, that a man can no longer depend on them. Iron John searches for a new vision of what a man is or could be, drawing on psychology, anthropology, mythology, folklore and legend. Robert Bly looks at the importance of the Wild Man (reminiscent of the Wild Woman in Women Who Run With the Wolves), who he compares to a Zen priest, a shaman or a woodman. 'This book needs to be read, I believe, not as a dry work of scholarship to be judged coolly by the mind, but as the work of a poet struggling to convey an emotional experience and lead us to what he has found within himself' Guardian. 'Eclectic and unclassifiable. Iron John is a work whose mentors are the prophetic poets and crazies, William Blake and Walt Whitman' Sydney Morning Herald. 'Important.timely.and powerful' New York Times

the point is not whether or not i agreed with everything that was discussed. the point is more that i found it fascinating and not so dry that i couldn't finish it.recommended to me by my father, which is weird, but i'm glad i read it.- Probably worth a read if you like: Joseph Campbell, Freud, Bettelheim, or Seneca (and other stoics)i am a huge fan of researching storytelling, mythology, and fairy tales. there was a lot in here that i felt deepened my understanding of those areas of study.the psychological side of the book is also very interesting.it's presented in a very "take this as you will" way for the most part, although at times it seems to be a little bit of a lecturing and denegration of modern men.and (try as the author might to side step it) there are a few passive aggressive swipes at the women's lib movement. or that's how it read to me. it seemed as though it Bly was in pain, trying as hard as he could to not come down on women.nevertheless, i think there's good information and "advice" in here.
