A Wise Tale About What Is Enough from the Author of the Number-One Best Seller Women Who Run with the Wolves

There is a gift so simple that it requires no ribbons for wrapping yet which is so miraculous, it has the power to transform our lives. This is The Gift of Story, a tale of love and wisdom from Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estés, eminent psychoanalyst and author.

When an old woman flees to a hut in a lonely forest, begins Dr. Estés, she seeks safety from the savage war that has devastated her village. What sustains her is the greatest of all gifts: a story. One healing tale leads to another, creating stories that each speak eloquently to the question, "What is enough?"

Handed down to Dr. Estés by elders within her own foster family, these stories are born of deep suffering; each one pays tribute to the human spirit. Heartwarming and fertile with strong symbols, The Gift of Story is a seed that will bear a rich and lasting fruit within your own family.

As Dr. Estés says, "Though none of us will live forever, our stories can. As long as one soul remains who can tell the story, the greater forces of love, mercy, generosity, and strength are continuously called into the world."

Beautiful and simple

Loved this short audio book. So much soul in just 48 mins. The violin music is so hauntingly lovely and sets the mood so well.

Wonderful stories and teaching.

I really enjoyed the stories in this book by Dr. Pinkola Estes. I enjoyed the violin music, it seemed to set a certain mood. There was nothing to dislike in this well paced audio book. I was looking for stories to tell Christmas Eve and I found them. : )

simply the best story teller of our time.

Clarissa Pinkola Estes answers the age old question, "What is enough? in a way that only she can tell it...straight from her heart.

Timely and Profound

I really enjoyed this audio for many reasons. Dr. Clarissa reminded me in the most personal way that the hope that could guide me through my current contrxt is the gift of storytelling. There are countless insights and lessons I can draw from this tale, and so I plan to revisit this book time and again for more. Thank you!
