ive been interested in mythology since i was a kid but this is the first time, in my experience, that ive been able to apply the symbols of a myth to my own life. i think this is a great book for a man of any age. its been very useful to understand some of the masculine forces that are at work within and gives great explainations for why these forces urge us to make the decisions in life that we do. i think reading this book will help men so that they dont have to re-invent the wheel in there own life. not to mention that the grail myth is a great story in itself.
