Synopsis

Have you ever wondered why you are drawn to certain people, ideas, or products and turned off by others? Are you constantly searching for something you can’t put your finger on, or wondering whether you are living a life that truly fits?

In Archetypes: Who Are You?, New York Times best-selling author Caroline Myss delves into the world of archetypes, which have been the subject of her work for more than 25 years. Archetypes are universal patterns of behavior that, once discovered, help you better understand yourself and your place in the world. In short, knowing your archetypes can transform your life.

Within the pages of this book, Myss writes about ten primary feminine archetypes that have emerged in today’s society: the Caregiver, the Artist/Creative, the Fashionista, the Intellectual, the Rebel, the Queen/Executive, the Advocate, the Visionary, the Athlete, and the Spiritual Seeker. In each chapter, she explains one individual archetype, showing how it has evolved and then in fascinating detail lays out the unique characteristics, the defining graces, the life challenges, and other information to help you understand if you are part of this archetype family and if so, how you can fully tap into its power.

She also offers tips and practical advice on how to fully engage with your archetypes. Learning which archetypes best describe you is just the beginning. You can then use this knowledge to make more conscious decisions about everything from careers to relationships, avoiding common pitfalls of your personality type while playing up your strengths. The result is a happier, more authentic you.

It’s never too late to change your life by embracing your archetypes to the fullest. So are you a Rebel? An Artist? A Visionary? Join us . . . and find yourself.

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 14, 2014

I didn't care too much for this book. Prior to reading the book, I visited the website www.archetype.com to see what the test consisted of and what archetypes I possessed.

Goodreads review by Zenon on April 14, 2018

I was wondering why all recent reviews were 3- stars. Now I understand. The author is not stupid, but she's not that smart either. I wish this was written by someone with a bigger picture in mind. This was too shallow for my taste. Before writing about percentages and possibilities, the author should......more

Disclaimer: I received an eARC of this book from netgalley.com. Carl Jung defines archetype as an ancient, or archaic image, which derives from the collected unconscious. Archetypes help us identify themes and learn ways to connect to the world around. I'm a tarot reader, and in tarot, archetypes are......more

Kitabı arka kapak yazısından etkilenip almıştım açıkçası beklediğim gibi çıkmadı. Yazar arketipleri güzel ele almış ancak bazı arketipler biraz sığdı, sanki biraz daha üzerine uğraşılmalıydı. Arketipler düzenliydi ve güzel anlatılmış özellikle önerilerde yazar çok güzel kısımlara değinmiş. Dili akıc......more

Goodreads review by Christine on September 23, 2022

This was disappointing. It doesn’t provide the further depth I hoped for. She seems to just outline pop culture stereotypes, two dimensional outlines, entities not amenable to growth. It seems so superficial. Her approach seems a far cry from what Carl Jung intended! Perhaps one needs to go back to s......more
