About this title: Prominent Jungian author Hillman finds that the central and guiding force behind the "heart," "spirit," "soul," etc., can be illuminated by his "acorn theory"--in which each life is transformed by a unique image. He sees the image as the essence of that life and that which calls it to a destiny, just as the oak's destiny is written in the tiny ...

"I've tried valiantly to get into this book, but just haven't. I don't know if I ever will. Fascinated as I am about psychology, I can't help but want Hillman to get to the point already. His thesis about a daimon guiding our lives and leading us to our best destiny works well in hindsight and for explaining the lives of famous people (Josephine Baker, Judy Garland, Henry Ford) but as far as I've read, Hillman gives little insight into how lesser mortals can listen better to their own daimon and heed their inner voices. Perhaps in order to get a better sense of Jungian theory, I should read Jung."
"As I read this book, I felt that the author/psychologist offered his view(s) and/or commentary on how he perceived "the soul" to play pivotally into not only the persons we are to ultimately become; but also how it's purpose upon the evolution throughout our lives. Additionally, his concepts about the placing or role that "the soul" portrays in the life of a person, and how it interacts or influences the shaping of behavior, decision-making, and unltimately resulting in the major summations of a persons life I found very interesting and profound. This book is definitely worthy of reading and serious contemplation."
"I have not found James Hillman to be always accessible in his writing; however, this book is an engaging and fascinating read. Hillman sets out successfully to establish that the character and passions of many people seem to spring form an inner source that is their in early childhood. He cites Judy Garland who showed her interest in being on stage when just beyond toddler stage; Yehudi Menuhin similarly displayed an interest in music when he was just a few years old."
