Tham Chee Wah: This is a simple explanation of what archetypes are about. Truly for beginners, which open my mind towards recognizing my inner strength. Having an archetype , or a few archetypes to relate to definitely define why I do what I do.

A great book to start you off to getting to know something deeper. If you are wondering why you do what you do, this is a good book for some revelation.

Dolores Cummins: Archetypes by Caroline Myss is a book for our time as we embrace the power of our archetypes to step forward and take responsibility for creating the reality of our life.

Amazon Customer kathryn rhodenizer: I have just started reading this book and I have the cards. However, I can tell that already this book has helped me understand so much about myself and how important it is to identify your archetypes. As well I purchased a book by Magenta Pixie, Masters of the Matrix. Which helped me immensely to understand how our archetypes are formed before we incarnate on a planet. So interesting! I’m thoroughly enjoying my journey!

Joseph J. Truncale: Like many people I am a voracious reader with interests in a wide variety of topics from Abacus to Zymurgy. I purchase the vast majority of my books on Amazon because they have not only an enormous selection but the most reasonable prices as well. I recently purchased this fantastic 247 page hardcover book (Archetypes: Who are you? By Caroline Myss) for a bargain price on Amazon).

I found this book so interesting that I could not put it down and finished it in one sitting. Even though I always knew that I loved numerous sports and martial arts all my life, this book also made me realize that I also can identify clearly with other Archetypes such as the intellectual, artist/creative, the spiritual seeker and definitively the warrior.

This easy to read volume covers the following material: Archetypes: the new inner-net, your personal journey, the advocate, the artist/creative, the athlete, the caregiver, the fashionista, the intellectual, the Queen/Executive, the rebel, the spiritual seeker, the visionary, and the archetype gallery.
If you are seeking to find out who you are this book points the way by exploring numerous archetypes. You may find your true calling or...

Kate: I recently started listening to Caroline Myss and reading her blog. I was first interested because she is a medical intuitive, and then after listening to some of her recordings, I realized I enjoy her insightful, take-no-prisoners style. I'm reading this book as kind of a primer for her "Sacred Contracts," which I plan to read soon. I'm only 75% in, but had to pause to say that I am amazed by her description of the Feminist Rebel. I've rarely thought of myself as rebellious, but reading this chapter opened my eyes--and explained some behaviors I've always found perplexing if not alarming. It's like she peeled back a layer and showed me a part of myself that's been there all along but I couldn't see it. Now I can, and it feels liberating. I love her laser-fine insights and look forward to learning more.

Lilygeenz: Archetypes have always interested me, but not from an academic perspective. Although it tends to be academics who write about them.
Caroline Myss is an incredibly switched-on woman, and her slant on the topic is well worth a read.
For anyone wanting to find out what energetic currents they swim in and why they love what it is that they love (and why the bottom can fall out of their world if that energetic part of them isn't being fed) then this is a really good book to get you back on track without squashing your own unique take on that particular energy. It offers practical guidelines for helping you recognise when you're going off track - exhibiting the shadow aspect of the archetype - but is equally as accepting of whichever face that archetype presents in your life. You don't feel wrong, just better understood.
Because I'd read a bit about archetypes, I only gave the book 4 stars. It is well written and comprehensive in terms of how far she wants to take the topic - which is to help people reconnect with those core (but shifting) energetic undercurrents that inhabit our modern world - but may prove a bit lightweight for a small percentage of readers. That said, I...

gina drellack: I just read this amazing book by Caroline Myss, called Archetypes. These are collective symbols that everyone in the culture understands; patterns, habits, and behaviors that people can all describe. When we speak in archetypes, we speak in common terms.

For example, if I were to say my uncle's sister's daughter's son's mom is such a martyr, you would immediately get an accurate picture of what I mean by her personality. If I told you my brother's grandma's daughter's son-in-law's wife is an amazing mother, you would also understand what it is I am trying to say.

Did you catch that both of these people link back to me? No family members were harmed in the making of these examples. Hmmm...is that a Caretaker tendency...?!?

Identifying archetypes is helpful for understanding yourself and others. When I can step back and look at a situation, myself, or another person through the lens of archetypes, I am able to see the impersonal patterns of consciousness that connect us all. When I encounter a person who is a Drama Queen, for example, I can keep my own energy and not lose myself in theirs. And I no longer resent either the person or myself for the situation!...
