- Summary
- "When men dedicate themselves to work, fight for social causes, start families, or get crazy over sports, they are enacting concealed mythic patterns - patterns that lie a the very heart of our culture. Men have a natural affinity for myth and mythmaking which, Guggenbühl maintains, results in grandiose aspirations and what often appears to be the purest sort of self-indulgence. At the same time, such thinking also helps to explain a seeming helplessness that men have in dealing with their own feeling" -- from bookjacket.
