Fast response, good quality

Still reading ... we need to let out more of the joy locked up inside people ...

Classic Johnson

This book explores a portion of - or may have been the impetus for -"Living the Un-lived Life." (I'm too lazy to see which was published first!) Explores the myth (story that weaves together the fundamental experience of those whose shoulders we stand on)of Dionysus, and then dissects it through Jungian psychoanalysis and a touch of humor and elegance.

Ecstasy

An Essential guide to understanding why our culture is constantly obssessed with seeking fulfillment that we never achieve.Robert A. Johnson makes us aware of why the esctasy we crave is unattainable in the ways we are seeking it and how to attain it. I have reread this book so many times and always am finding new meaning in it. Johnson is an eloquent and thorough. This book will make you think differently about life.

sheerly enjoyable

this is a book to be experienced, to be savored, and read,in between the lines, so that you may recognize the god of joy within. i tried to make the book last as long as i could. johnson has a wonderful way of informing the reader of his/her heritage and gently waking them. all his books are excellant.
