Publisher's Summary

First published three years ago before the print edition of Women Who Run with the Wolves made publishing history, this original audio edition quickly became an underground best seller. For it's insights into the inner lives of women, it established Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes as one of the most important voices of our time in the fields of Jungian psychology, myth, and women's mysteries.

Drawing from her work as a psychoanalyst and cantadora (keeper of old stories), Dr. Estes uses myths and folktales to illustrate how societies systematically strip away the feminine spirit. Through an exploration into the nature of the wild woman archetype, Dr. Estes helps listeners rediscover and free their own wild nature.

Incomplete

What would have made Women Who Run with the Wolves better?

Sold the complete version, or at least let people know. Extremely disappointed, hard copy has many more chapters and stories in full detail. It’s a great incomplete book.

What was most disappointing about Clarissa Pinkola Estes’s story?

Her story is wonderful, but this audiobook is not complete.

Is it like the book?

I’m not sure this audible version is as the book? Seems too short. Nevertheless it’s a wonderful book and told beautifully

Loved it but wish there was an unabridged version

I love the Author's storytelling, her words and tone are so captivating... I just really would loved to have heard the full length of the book, it finished far too soon.

Not the book!

This is NOT the book of the same name. It is more like a lecture that captures some but certainly not all the ideas in the book. It should have a different title. There are some great concepts in here but they are not fleshed out and there is so much missing from the wisdom offered in the book. Buyer beware.

Amazing and insightful

I read 'Women Who Run With the Wolves' in a paperback last year and loved it. I downloaded the audio book to save me time in re-reading it only to find that the audiobook was significantly condensed. However I still adored the messages and insights within the text.

Misleading! Exquisite but missing most of the book

I adore this book having read it before and owning paperback copies. However I wanted to revisit and listening to the audio book felt like a great idea. Disappointing to realise only after purchase that it’s only two parts, a massively abridged version, just a teaser of the whole book. This is misleading and I think it’s wrong that it’s not clearly stated in the title, as I can see so many other listeners have been mis -sold the audio too.

Disappointed

While beautiful, I was disappointed that this was not the full version of the book I’ve come to love so much …
