“Your life is enriched because when you know the main archetypes that make up your story you can begin to connect that story to mythology, the arts, history and many other fields. This helps you make meaning of your story and making meaning of our lives is enriching. You gain perspective because archetypal thinking is non-judgmental, a way to look at a situation or problem from new angles. A fresh look helps solve problems. And finally, in a time of increasing "otherness," archetypal insights can heighten your level of tolerance as you recognize that all people express the same archetypes just in a huge variety of styles and flavors.”

— Laurence Hillman

“Treating misery as a primarily medical problem is part of the reason why so many people are miserable. Whether or not you agree with that, we can probably all agree that something about the way we are approaching mental health isn’t working, and that radical change is desperately needed.”
