About this listen

Saturn was the Roman god, who ate his children to stop them from usurping his power. Men have been psychologically and spiritually wounded by this legacy. Hollis offers a rich perspective on the secrets men carry in their hearts.

This is a good book and gives you a lot to think about. Read this to understand yourself more and about masculinity.

Everything said is as true for man as it is for women. Growing is a human endeavour, not a man’s problem. Failing to recognise this encapsulates the problems man and women face. Apart from that, an enlightenment of a book.

Man vs woman is a social construct

This is one of my favourite James Hollis books but it is sadly let down by a wholly inappropriate style of narration. This kind of book needs a thoughtful, reflective tone. What we get is a Raymond Chandler style presentation. Ugh. I hope that one day the publishers re-voice these books.

Great book, inappropriate narration

A long strident rant on the failings of men , everything is the fault of men.
Important though to take on these issues which are in themselves painful.
I think we need a more positive idea of a way forward.

Unbearable reader’s voice, which is such a shame for such an important read. It felt almost caricatural.
