找回野性女人,找回屬於妳的力量!
每個女人的內心都擁有強大力量,包含良好本能、熱情的創造力以及古老的知能。這力量就是野性女人。我們與生俱有野性本質的種種天賦,但在歷史洪流中,社會卻努力「教化」我們,使女人的野性一直受到壓抑,扼殺了靈魂所傳來的奧妙生命訊息。
在《與狼同奔的女人》書中,埃思戴絲博士把豐富的跨文化神話和童話故事展現在讀者眼前,協助女人重新把自己連結到這個兇猛的、健康的、具有真知灼見的本能天性上。
透過細膩的故事和詮釋,我們得以找回並愛上這位野性女人,把她緊擁在自己心靈深處,讓她成為最有力量的魔法師及治療師。身為知名詩人、資深榮格分析師和故事保存者,埃思戴絲博士創造了一套新的語彙來描述女性心靈;這套語彙富有發動生命的能力,可說是最真切不過的女性心理學和靈魂學。

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - One million copies sold! "A deeply spiritual book [that] honors what is tough, smart and untamed in women."--The Washington Post Book World
Book club pick for Emma Watson’s Our Shared ShelfWithin every woman there lives a powerful force, filled with good instincts, passionate creativity, and ageless knowing. She is the Wild Woman, who represents the instinctual nature of women. But she is an endangered species. For though the gifts of wildish nature belong to us at birth, society’s attempt to "civilize" us into rigid roles has muffled the deep, life-giving messages of our own souls. In Women Who Run with the Wolves, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés unfolds rich intercultural myths, fairy tales, folk tales, and stories, many from her own traditions, in order to help women reconnect with the fierce, healthy, visionary attributes of this instinctual nature. Through the stories and commentaries in this remarkable book, we retrieve, examine, love, and understand the Wild Woman, and hold her against our deep psyches as one who is both magic and medicine. Dr. Estés has created a new lexicon for describing the female psyche. Fertile and life-giving, it is a psychology of women in the truest sense, a knowing of the soul.
