I found this book an easy read - finished it within a day. I'm not sure I found it that enlightening in terms of masculine psychology - it's maybe a bit outdated

I think the main things I got from it was a newfound appreciation for medieval thinkers - I think post-"Enlightenment" we look down on European medieval people as "barbarous" and pretend that they didn't have philosophical ideas which is unfair and this book helped me arrive at that. It also helped put medieval myth the Fisher King into perspective and to understand it as a "coming of age" tale
