The special offer and material as expected I m really sadisfy about this itemsThe order really sadisfy the expectations

Loved the book.

I don't normally leave reviews, but in this instance I feel utterly compelled to do so. When I am enjoying a book, I devour it completely, having started this book in that same tradition, I reached page 18 and realised that this is not how this book should be read. So I started again. This isn't a book. It's a journey. It is written to be dissected and digested carefully and thoroughly. Each word, line, paragraph and chapter need to be read, 're read and absorbed before proceeding to the next.I encourage you to read this as a learning text, my copy is overflowing with post it's highlighting singular words, phrases and whole beautiful chunks of text that resonate with me.Insightful, inspiring, intuitive and incredibly intelligent are just a few words out of a thousand that I will use to describe Women Who Run With The Wolves. You can travel to the far corners of the earth searching for answers as to why you feel lost, searching, anxious and misplaced in this world, but the utterly remarkable storytelling talents and patient teachings of Clarissa Pinkola Estés have helped me understand why I often feel that way and how I can take steps to change it.A pleasure and a delight to read, humourous and emotional. I found alot of somewhat astonished joy, in her incredible technique of being able to so accurately and poetically articulate how my soul is feeling.I can not praise this book enough! Can you tell? It is a "bible" of sorts to me, a gift to all humankind, a guide of self discovery, recovery, acceptance and a path to our natural and rightful power of self.Life and self affirming, truly truly a literary gift to the world. I shall be buying every woman I know a copy and will hopefully share in their enlightened journeys of growth. I will also encourage them (and you) to write footnotes and thoughts in the margins and fill it with your own truths and learnings that you discover along the way.Far beyond everything I hoped it would be. So deeply beautiful. An astounding accomplishment.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes beautifully communicates traditional Native stories of the Wild Woman and analyses with the reader the psyche, and how understanding our own inner psyche how we as women (and men) can move out of victim-hood into the Wild being that we should be: strong, daring and Wild. The stories are demonstrated throughout the book and provide easy instant recognition, understanding and self development. Probably the best book I have ever picked up (and can't put down). As an educated woman who had lost her inner creativity (also discussed in the book as to how this happened and how to reclaim our creative selves), the only thing I can say that could be addressed (although it wouldn't make reading it so enjoyable) is that there are many words that even I do not recognise and I would imagine could be difficult for readers that find reading challenging. Clarissa Pinkola Estes however, is a very gifted writer and regardless of this, I would not wish to change the book as it flows in a way that most readers could understand even without a dictionary. I have so much praise for this book and I have purchased several for my female tribe so they can gain wisdom into their own Wild Women psyche.

Love, love , love this book.It’s a very beautifully intense read, but once I got past the first chapter it literally spoke to my soul as a woman. I can get through a good book in a night or 2, but with this I had to read, put it down and ponder. Take notes, etc.This book really teaches you how to shed all of societies stereotypes, and ‘shoulds’, familial, and relationship traumas, And teaches you how to nurture the instinctual feminine that’s already inside of you, key words being ‘instinctual and intuition’. The stories are so important I realised, as they give you a visual and, metaphorical understanding which makes every lesson and insight memorable.It seems the author read my mind, every question I had, seemed to be answered in the next paragraph or chapter, I have learned so much about myself through this book and even though it’s for women I’ve taught my sons so much from this book. One of the most refreshing things is that it doesn’t ask you to ‘acquire, consume, or do ANYTHING other than SHED, open your mind, be fearless looking within, and grow. I’d recommend this to every woman. Especially if your at a stage where your a bit lost, confused, need some clarity, and need to find your identity xxxx

If a wise grandmother became a book this would be it.

This book is quite a poetry written in prose. A lot of repetition and different metaphors used to describe same theme/ idea. I think author intentionally did that, so every reader can find her own way to understand the meaning behind topic, but be ready for long and not easy reading, even though you got the idea, you will be going through many different metaphors to describe same think over and over again. I think it's spiritual book more than psychological. If you never read anything spiritual and you are not familiar with any spiritual ideas like 'higher self', this book can open your mind and eyes to new ideas, and I can see how it can be life changing for some people. However if you read spiritual books before, integrate spirituality, mindfulness in your daily life, and you would like to go deeper, this book will extend your knowledge a little bit further but not too far.
