Možná znáte ženu, které nechybí vášeň, moudrost, humor, odvaha a životní elán. Ženu, která věří sobě a tomu, co ví. Silnou bytost, která neodvrací zrak před skutečností, jakkoliv je složitá a náročná. Tu, která si uvědomuje vlastní i cizí nedostatky a místo tvrdého odsouzení pro ně má spíše laskavé pochopení. Je příjemné pobývat v její blízkosti. Ale ještě lepší jen se jí stát.

doctors have the final word. But, author Jean Shinoda Bolen reminds us that

Mýty jsou úžasné příběhy a jsou ještě zajímavější, když si uvědomíme, že nám mohou sdělit intimní pravdy o nás i ostatních. Jean Shinoda Bolenová oživuje řecký panteon v našich vnitřních archetypech a aplikuje sílu mýtů na naše osobní životy. Když porozumíme přirozenému postupu od mýtu k archetypu a osobní psychice, a uvědomíme si, že pozitivní dary i negativní tendence jsou rysy jednotlivých bohyní, které v nás sídlí, získáme výjimečný vhled do svého nitra.
Některé ženy se více věnují profesnímu životu a úspěchu a jiné cítí naplnění svého poslání jako manželky a matky podle toho, která bohyně je nejvíce ovládá. Bolenová učí ženy, jak by se měly rozhodnout, které rysy bohyní rozvíjet, a které potlačovat, a také, jak využít síly archetypů, aby byly ve svém životě tou správnou hrdinkou.

boginie mądrości, współczucia, gniewu i uzdrawiającego śmiechu, odkrywając w
nich pokłady mocy pojawiające się w psychice dojrzałej kobiety bez względu na
wiek.
"Knowing which archetypes are stirring and strong in you will help you to come into your own third phase with additional consciousness," says Jean Shinoda Bolen. When Bolen's earlier book Goddesses in Everywoman was first published, it became a surprise bestseller and an unexpected star in the womens' spirituality movement. Bolen viewed archetypal patterns from a Jungian-feminist point of view as they affected the first two phases of a woman's life. Now she has devoted an entire book to the third phase of a woman's life, that of a "green and juicy crone." Here again, the goddesses (Demeter, Artemis, Persephone etc,) as they would age are invoked as role models as well as some non-Western goddesses. All can add perspective and wisdom to any woman's Act III.
In Jean Shinoda Bolen's best-selling, game-changing Goddesses in Everywoman, myths came to life in a whole new way that resonated with our own lives. Even fictional character Bridget Jones was reading that book. Now comes Artemis: The Indomitable Spirit in Everywoman, a groundbreaking new book that explores the archetype of the activist. Indomitable means untamed, unsubdued. It is the one-in-herself quality in girls and women who will not be victims, no matter what. To bring the Artemis archetype to life, Dr. Bolen delves deeply into the myth of Atalanta, the famous hunter and runner in ancient Greek mythology, a mortal woman who is identified with Artemis the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and Moon. Atalanta began life abandoned and left to die because she was born a girl. She faced the Calydon Boar and drew first blood; she was the runner who would demand to be beaten in a footrace by the man who could claim her as his bride. Atalanta exemplifies the indomitable spirit in competent, courageous girls and in the women they become. This is grit, the passion and persistence to go the distance, to survive, and to succeed. Dr. Bolen paints a vivid picture of Artemis women in current media, including Princess Merida from the animated film Brave and Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games . In all these examples and those of real-life women who grow into their Artemis spirit, she provides the means through which readers can navigate their own personal exploration to become their authentic selves. Bolen dedicates this book to women and girls who embody the archetype of Artemis, who discover her uncrushable spirit in themselves or others
In this brief, yet profound book, Jean Bolen inspires women and others to
follow a path with soul, to take on a personal assignment that contributes to
change, while relying on the support of a circle or circles of likeminded
individuals. The strength that comes from those circles feeds the activism and
the activism makes the circles stronger.

In this new book, Crones Don't Whine, Bolen's playful sense of humor and keen insight combine to offer women thirteen qualities to cultivate. Engage in these small practices and you're bound to be a happier person who's doing her bit to make the world a better place. ''These qualities are not cultivated overnight, '' Bolen writes. Crone years are ''growing'' years, when women can devote their time, energy, and creativity to what really matters to them. Bolen offers us a blueprint: Crones don't whine. They're juicy, and they trust their own instincts. They don't grovel. They do meditate. They choose the path with heart. Crones are fierce about what matters most to them. They speak the truth with compassion. They listen to their bodies, reinvent themselves as needed, and savor the good in their lives. Turn to these thirteen brief pieces again and again, in bad times and good, alone and with others - because ''Crones Together Can Change the World, '' as Bolen points out in an inspirational, call-to-arms bonus essa
