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.

Very misleading - not the same as the actual book

Women Who Run with the Wolves is an amazing book, however, what I downloaded here on Audible is NOT the hardcover book that I own. It is a 'version' of the book, therefore, I was extremely disappointed as that was not at all what I was expecting. Audible should make these things much more clear.

Where’s the rest of the book Audible?

This was a great 2 hours, but at no point before getting the book did I notice anything obvious saying it was an abridged version. I would have loved the full version, especially in audiobook format. This was disappointing. What was there is great, just not what I thought I was signing up for.

NOT THE SAME AS THE BOOK

Highly truncated. Barely any stories and the takeaways are minor. Would not recommend at all.

Life Changing Wisdom

I love this book it will change your life — this is misleading however because it is only a fraction of the book - this is not advertised and a disappointment considering the cost - but the content is life changing beautiful wild wisdom ♥️

different version than the original

I bought this book because we were reading it for book club. After listening to the whole thing in one drive, I thought it seemed a little shallow. I was expecting way more depth and analysis. During our book club meeting I found out that the audio book is way shorter than the original. Unfortunately this is not stated anywhere on the audiobook. I will be returning this one.

Missing stories?

I love her style of storytelling, her voice and cadence. But are there stories missing?

Not the same as the paper book

This seems to be only the first chapter or 2 of the book. I should have known given how short this audio book is! Be forewarned. The stories are great I just wish I got the whole book.
