Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Each of us lives a personal mythology, an inner drama whose plot we enact over and over in our daily lives. This guiding mythology determines what we see, how we think and feel, and even what we do. Yet its theme usually lies outside of our awareness and our conscious control.This practical guide to discovering one’s personal mythology takes the reader on a journey of self-discovery using rituals, dreams, and imagination. Through a series of step-by-step exercises, you are shown how to examine and systematically make changes in the personal myths that underlie your life. The book leads you from uncovering the personal perspective of ancestral roots to cultivating an enlarged relationship with the mysteries of the universe.While many popular books on “co-dependency” or “addictive relationships” identify destructive personal myths, this work shows you how to transform such underlying patterns into more positive ones. In this way you become less bound by the mythologies of childhood and society and have greater influence over personal patterns that once seemed predetermined.For more than a decade, Feinstein and Krippner, both psychologists, have taught this system to thousands of people in many parts of the world. Their approach, which originated in a research project in the Department of Psychiatry at The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, is presented here to general readers for the first time. No other book provides a more practical system for applying the principles of mythological thought to individual psychology.
