The Gods of Every Man follows the fascinating line of the best seller The Goddesses of Every Woman. If in his first book Jean Shinoda Bolen had women as his central theme, in this one of today he investigates the internal patterns that make up the personalities, careers and relationships of men. The author uses the Greek gods to explore both the inner world of archetypes and the outer world of stereotypes, and in this way she presents a sensitive and lucid male psychology.

Reviewing those gods of the classical world, from the authoritarian Zeus and Poseidon to the sensual Dionysus, through the creative Apollo and Hephaestus, the author teaches readers to identify their ruling gods, to decide which of them should be cultivated and which must be defeated. Her goal is to connect with the power of these archetypes and make them heroes of their own lives.

Every Man's Gods requires probing into the deepest regions of the male psyche, and it is a book that will help both men and women: Men will be better understood by revealing how to choose the options or paths most consistent with the gods who act in them, and women will improve their relationships with parents, children, brothers and lovers, knowing to which gods they are attracted and which are incompatible with their expectations.
