In Roman myth, Saturn devoured his own children out of fear that they would one day overthrow him. James Hollis argues that this ancient story still shapes the inner lives of modern men, leaving many carrying wounds they rarely name. Drawing on Jungian thought, he explores how these hidden injuries affect the spirit as well as the psyche, and what men might do to face them. The book offers a thoughtful, personal way of looking at the secrets men keep hidden in their hearts, and at the possibility of healing them.
