About the book
Caroline Myss describes archetypes as universal patterns of behavior that help people understand themselves and their place in the world, a subject she has worked on for more than 25 years. Her focus is ten primary feminine archetypes she sees emerging in society today, among them the Rebel, the Caregiver, the Visionary, the Fashionista, the Spiritual Seeker, the Intellectual, the Athlete, the Advocate, the Artist/Creative and the Queen/Executive. Each chapter takes one archetype, traces how it evolved and sets out its characteristics, graces and life challenges. Myss adds practical tips for engaging with archetypes, and the book presents this self-knowledge as a guide to decisions about careers and relationships. Myss is a New York Times best-selling author.
Executive coach Catherine Plano said she identified strongly with its Artist/Creative archetype and that it shed light on who she is.

Catherine Plano (Executive Coach)
It’s amazing! She goes into the different archetypes that live in that deeper part of our mind, we can have one or a couple and there was one that I really resonated with the Artist/Creative archetype and it really brings light to who you are. Caroline goes through your life journey, your unique challenges and lessons, which were to overcome the fear of not being original and to not diminish or ignore my talent but instead develop my unique gift. Can I develop my talent and express myself, or will fear of failure or humiliation hold me back? That was a profound shift for me, I could really relate to that in sssoooo many ways. She goes into our shadow aspect of self, our behaviours and patterns... and this was fear of being unacknowledged for my artistic gifts or resentful if I chose not to develop my inner Artist/Creative.
