About this listen

Robert A. Johnson, best-selling author of He, She, We and other psychology classics, shares a lifetime of insights and experiences in this easy-to-listen-to explanation of psychological projection - seeing traits in others that are, in fact, our own. He masterfully reveals how each of us gives up our inner gold to those whom we idealize or are attracted to. Each one of us must learn the arduous task of “taking back” this gold as we move through life’s journey.

Drawing on early Christianity, medieval alchemy, depth psychology, and the myths of the Flying Dutchman and the Once and Future King, he also explores the subjects of loneliness, fundamentalist religion, and the spiritual dimensions of psychology.

One of the most influential and visionary analysts of his generation, Johnson follows the tradition of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell among those whose ideas have shaped our deepest metaphors of self and psyche. His books are known worldwide for presenting Jung’s complex theories with the simplicity and grace.

"With twinkling eyes and the smile of a wise old man, Robert Johnson brings us the wisdom of a life fully lived. The healing power of Robert's writing is palpable." (Marion Woodman)

"Robert Johnson’s work always has that naked intensity that tells you you’re in the psychic house of an honest man." (Robert Bly)

Excellent Insights

Some new Insights and positive aspects of projection in life..... though the 2nd half of the book somewhat lost me with all of the parables and symbolism

a lot of wisdom in a short piece

'literalism is the death of insight' and some other great pearls of wisdom. A refreshing change showing the genuine complexities in life which don't require simple 'answers'

Okay

Recommended by a friend… there WERE sone valuable insights, however they were not so original as to warrant this instead of other works. The performance felt out of joint with the text

I don't recommend this book...

Nice history lessons with interesting ideas on projection at the end, but the non-stop metaphor about inner gold created a lot of confusion for me, it was so vague due to the way the author wrote about it, I found it difficult to understand. I just wished he would just explain it in plain English.
