به اندازه‌ی کتاب اصلی گیرایی نداشت و ارتباط گرفتن با قسمت تمرین های آیینی هم برام سخت و عجیب بود.

I loved the book “The Heroine’s Journey” so much, when I discovered this companion workbook months later, I had to devour it too.

I was a bit disappointed mainly because it felt like a watered down compilation of other books I love, particularly “The Pregnant Virgin” and “Women Who Run with the Wolves.” She even quotes several-page excerpts from the latter and summarizes concepts from Marion Woodman throughout.

I enjoyed “The Artist’s Way,” but never got a ton from the exercises. The exercises in this book feel similarly structured, but thinner. She mentions that many are are from weekend workshops she’s held, and I can see them working much better in that kind of setting. Translated to the page, they fall a little flat.

Overall, it was an interesting read because I can’t get enough of the concept she’s exploring, but I’d recommend sticking to the book and picking up a copy of “The Artist’s Way” if you’re looking for homework assignments.

I've only gotten as far as the Introduction, but I feel the need to highly recommend this book, especially for women.

با خوندن اين كتاب از اينكه يك زن هستم و وسيستم بدنم داراي سيكلهاي خواصي است و هم چنين افتخار مادر شدن رو تجربه كردم به خودم ميبالم

[Dounia Rezki · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was not quite expecting this kind of book I thought it was a kind of female version of the famous "the hero with thousand faces" from Campbell which would compensate the lack of female representation and a path of journey of initiation in various myths I was excited to discover these hidden figures with pertinent psychologic and cultural interpretarions, some critics in the various cultures. But, this is not this kind of book. There are some examples brief and a bit biaised sometimes of some tales and myths (not always the best I think) that can be interesting, but the vast majority of the book consist of some self psychology exercises and down to earth motivational advices which I must admit is not my cup of tea. Some exercises are for me far too "cringe" and "infantilizing" (for example creating a rag doll) but I know it is my opinion and my preferences, and I am not undermining the various and different experiences of other people. Also, not quite a fan of the essentialism with all the so- called feminine qualities that are at times a bit too much caricatural.

This book had a positive impact on my life when I was going through my divorce. There's meditations, dreamwork and other cool exercises to do. I like that it is an interactive book, you just don't read it passively...you read and do the exercises, thus you work on yourself at the same time.

Like its companion book, this work is a bit dated but still helpful. Most effective when completed with a compassionate, nonjudgmental group.
