Broad application for the concepts of The Millionth Circle

Working as I do in the corporate environment, I have used the principles contained in this concise book to create healthy alternatives to the typical hierarchical meeting. One does not have to have a background in women's spirituality to understand its premise or its practical application in many settings. As businesses of all sizes seek to move beyond traditional organizational forms, the book provides the outline of how furture organizations can work NOW.

The Millionth Circle How to Change Ourselves and the World

Womens' and Mens' groups everywhere could gain from reading this short, simple, but comprehensive book. Would that leaders of nations could digest it and learn from it.

The Millionth Circle

This is one of the most enlightning and helpful books I have ever read. I had no idea there were so many techniques and different ways of circling. It is a must-read book for anyone interested in creating or being in a circle. I believe it's entirely possible after reading The Millionth Circle that we can change ourselves and the world. One person CAN make a difference and ONE CIRCLE can cause miracles to happen in our lives. Thank you Dr. Bolen for writing this precious little book.

The Tao of Circles

This is a slim volume, and beautifully laid out. Its utter simplicity goes right to the heart of what makes a circle so powerful, and what keeps a circle healthy for its members, without embroidery. It would be easy for a hurried reader who skipped through it without stopping to meditate on its words to mistake it as "lite." It has the lightness and ease that I associate with profound teachings. I have given this book to several young women who have never been in a circle before, and who haven't read much about women's spirituality or feminism. Their responses were exactly the same: "Wow, that is an amazing book!" I believe it will probably change their lives. As a veteran of many years of women's circles, I find it valuable too, as a crystal-clear, straightforward statement of the essence of how circles work and how they can go wrong. It's a most welcome addition to my spiritual library, and one I intend to give as a gift often. It aims at a very different goal than would an exhaustive how-to-do-it manual; don't miss its riches because of some readers' tunnel-vision judgments.

The Millionth Circle

I have read and reread all of the books by Jean Shinoda Bolen and most of her contemporaries. This one is brilliant,a portion of a larger work given life in a synchronistic request by Isabel Allende. The Millionth Circle is logical, mystical, and inspirational. It is a meditation and a how to guide which makes sense even to my doctor husband. I am so excited about her ideas that I bought 15 copies as Holiday gifts for my closest friends and those whom I think might become so. It is a GREAT gift idea for our "changing times"...and The Millionth Circle might even hold the formula for altering the prognosis of the Earth.
