The indomitable Jean Bolen gives meaning and purpose to women's lives through the retelling of important archetypal myths and her bestselling classic Goddesses in Everywoman has been widely read and soundly praised by women everywhere - from fictional characters like Bridget Jones to feminist icons like Gloria Steinem. Now comes a new book written in the same spirit and with the same vitality. In ARTEMIS Bolen delves deeply into the myth of Atalanta, the famous hunter and runner in ancient Greek mythology, a mortal woman who identified with Artemis, the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and Moon. Atalanta began life abandoned and left to die because she was born a girl. She faced the Calydon Boar and drew first blood; she was the runner who would demand to be beaten in a footrace by the man who could claim her as his bride. She exemplifies the indomitable spirit in competent, courageous girls and in the women they become - the one who refuses to give up on what she knows to be true for herself. This is grit, the passion and persistence to go the distance, to survive and to succeed. Bolen explores female psychology at every stage of a woman's life beginning in girlhood and offers insights for women to become more authentically themselves. Atalanta and Artemis are the means through which readers can navigate their own personal exploration. Retold in Marlo Thomas' bestselling Free to Be You and Me written more than forty years ago, Bolen's further exploration of the Artemis archetype will resonate with her readers and with fans of Joseph Campbell, Clarissa Pinkola Estes, James Hillman, among others. Plus Bolen's use of many real-life stories as well as mythological and fictional examples of young women who are similar to Atalanta including Princess Merida from the animated film Brave and Katniss from The Hunger Games which draw a new generation of readers.

The companion volume to Goddesses in Everywoman reveals the powerful inner patterns, or archetypes, that shape men's personalities, careers, and personal relationships-offering a insights into Greek mythology, Jungian archetypal psychology, and into themselves and the people in their lives. A Jungian analyst, Dr. Bolen introduces our inner patterns in the guise of eight archetypal gods. From the authoritarian, power-seeking gods (Zeus, Poseidon) to the gods of creativity (Apollo, Hephaestus) to the sensual Dionysis, Dr. Bolen shows men how to identify their ruling gods, how to decide which to cultivate and which to overcome, and how to tap the power of these enduring archetypes in order to enrich and strengthen their lives. She stresses the importance of understanding which gods you are attracted to and which are incompatible with your expectations, uncovers the origins of the often-difficult father-son relationship, and explores society's deep conflict between nurturing behavior and the need to foster masculinity. In Gods in Everyman, Dr. Bolen presents us with a compassionate and lucid male psychology that will help all men and women to better understand themselves and their relationships with their fathers, their sons, their brothers and their lovers.

· Jean Bolen will be presenting at the UN Commission on the Status of Women March 4th - March 15th advocating for a 5th Conference on Women (5WCW) · A sequel to The Millionth Circle (9781573241762), 30,000 copies in print MOVING TOWARD THE MILLIONTH CIRCLE is a sequel to the author's popular The Millionth Circle (1999) with a slightly different focus. Her first book describes how real change happens when a critical number of people adopt a new perspective with how-to sections on ways to create women's circles with a sacred centre. While still about women's circles, her new book focuses more on activism and how these circles can help to sustain and support women working for change in their lives and in the world. In this brief, yet profound book, Jean Bolen inspires women and others to follow a path with soul, to take on a personal assignment that contributes to change, while relying on the support of a circle or circles of likeminded individuals. The strength that comes from those circles feeds the activism and the activism makes the circles stronger. MOVING TOWARD THE MILLIONTH CIRCLE is about heart-centred activism. The metaphoric millionth circle is the tipping point into a post-patriarchal era, based on the premise that when a critical number of people change their perspective and behaviour, a new era can begin. Drawn from Dr. Bolen's work with the United Nations and her experiences with His Holiness the Dalai Lama and women from all walks of life all around the world, this book is poetical, practical and political.

Jean Shinoda Bolen's celebrated work of female psychology that uses seven archetypical goddesses to describing behavior patterns and personality traits, as relevant and timeless today as when it was first published thirty years ago. Myths are fascinating stories that become even more intriguing when we realize that they can reveal intimate truths about ourselves and others. Jean Shinoda Bolen brings the Greek pantheon to life as our inner archetypes and applies the power of myth to our personal lives. Once we understand the natural progression from myth to archetype to personal psychology, and realize that positive gifts and negative tendencies are qualities associated with a particular goddess within, we gain powerful insights. Depending on which goddess is more active within, one woman might be more committed to achieving professional success, while another more fulfilled as a wife and mother. From the autonomous Artemis and the cool Athena to the nurturing Demeter and the creative Aphrodite, she teaches women how to decide which to cultivate and which to overcome, and how to tap the power of these enduring archetypes to become a better "heroine" in their own life story.
