Two books to change your life:
"Women Who Run With the Wolves"
by Clarissa Pinkola Estes
"A healthy woman is much like a wolf: robust, chock-full, strong life force, life-giving, territorially aware, inventive, loyal, roving. Yet separation from the wildish nature causes a woman's personality to become meager, thin, ghosty, spectral. We are not meant to be puny with frail hair and inability to leap up, inability to give chase, to birth, to create a life. When women's lives are in stasis, ennui, it is always time for the wildish woman to emerge; it is time for the creating function of the psyche to flood the delta...It means to establish territory, to find one's pack, to be in one's body with certainty and pride regardless of the body's gifts and limitations, to speak and act in one's behalf, to be aware, alert, to draw on the innate feminine powers of intuition and sensing, to come into one's cycles, to find what one belongs to, to rise with dignity, to retain as much
consciousness as we can."

This book is for ALL women and for ALL
men who love women.
"Iron
John"
by Robert Bly
"Bly’s book advocates a return of a stronger, more masculine man (in
the traditional sense), but one who also respectful of modern-day
feminist values."
"Today's North American male is so focused on financial 'success' and
collecting 'toys for boys', he's forgotten how to live fully".

This is for ALL men and for ALL women who love men.
NEITHER of
these books is "easy reading" and might be treated more as text books
on a topic worth mastering- "living a
more fulfilling life".
