The Power of Archetypes

How to Use Universal Symbols to Understand Your Behavior and Reprogram Your Subconscious

By: Marie D. Jones

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

Deep within your mind is a realm filled with powerful symbols that drive your thoughts, behaviors, and actions - often without your knowledge. This is the hidden world of archetypes, universal symbols responsible for who you are, how the world sees you, and what you believe about yourself and your life's purpose.

The Power of Archetypes will help you identify, understand, and work with the archetypes that exist beyond your conscious awareness to create your reality "behind the scenes". You will also learn how to clear out old symbols that may be blocking you from the happiness and success you dream of. You will examine the roles of the subconscious and collective unconscious in shaping your identity and why it is so hard to change "you"; the most common archetypes and what they symbolize; global archetypes in religion, politics, and pop culture and how they affect you; and ways to identify archetypes working in your life as well as the skills to change them and become more authentic.

Archetypes reveal your plot and your purpose. The good news is if you don't like them, you can choose more empowering symbols to create a completely new story of your life.

Mandatory for Storytellers and Authors

i dunno why the audiobook even gets a bad review.

This is a much more condensed and useful guide for understanding archetypes in relation to Jung, Campbell, and Freud.


I've read books like the Psychology of the Unconscious or subconscious whatever and the Hero with 1000 faces. Both are very difficult and arduous to get through.

This book is like cliffnotes of the important bits and i wouldv'e saved 100+hours of listening though i don't regret it.


I use this book for catching up so i don't have to plow through more dense texts.

Misses the mark

I wouldn't recommend this book if you want to gain an understanding of archetypes. There's too much talk of choosing your archetypes in this book, and that's not how archetypes work in our lives. We discover our archetypes, we don't choose them. The author mentioned choosing a new archetype for ourselves and sending away one's that we're not happy with, and that's not how it works. Archetypes are not the same as behavior and personality traits. The author doesn't help the reader discern a personality trait from an archetype, and she continually confuses the two. I suspect she doesn't understand the difference herself. It's most important to look at your M. O., not just your behavior to determine your archetypes. This is grossly overlooked in this book. The why is more important than the what when it comes to discovering your archetypes, and this book bypasses the why. If you truly want to grow without spiritually, emotionally, and mentally bypassing and hijacking your efforts, dig deeper into the study of archetypes and don't let this book be your only guide.

Eye Opener

So much great information that I'm going to have to listen to it again. As a Hypnotherapist this gives me more insight to reprogramming self and others.

😶

not to be rude but I wish I could get my money back.
very little of the information is usable
the authors knowledge of the chakras should be called in to question.
not a good book If you're looking for real answers.
