Men and the Life of Desire

By Robert Bly, James Hillman and Michael Meade

Why do men not have what they most desire? Are they so out of
touch with themselves that they don't even know what they desire? This iconic
recording gives a good sense of what happens when poet Robert Bly, psychologist-author
James Hillman and mythologist Michael Meade work their magic together. While
focusing on "The Firebird," a Russian fairy tale about power, love
and danger, these remarkable speakers draw on poems, stories and their own
wisdom to inspire each other and offer penetrating insights into the soul and
spirit of man. Topics include: the hunger for the father; the difference
between need, want and desire; the importance of male initiation.
