Subject: A brilliant, ambitious book about healing narcissism and our polarized times
This is a challenging book (because it clearly outlines the polarization we are suffering at this time–while tracing the roots of this polarization, this tribal psychology). And it’s also a marvelous and necessary book (because it offers hints of healing–both for our collective narcissism, and these polarized times). Part of what’s distinctive about the book is that it is written from the intersect of 4 avenues of vision: the mythic, psychological, historical / political and the spiritually non-dual. Also notable is how clearly and knowledgeably its author writes about them all. And he tells us, that without multiple perspectives our view into the terrain of narcissism is limited and we are unable to adequately re-vision it and heal this pervasive, cultural wound. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Profoundly Insightful and Paradigm-Shifting Book!

I consider this book one of the best, in fact one of the very few really cutting-edge psychology books that I’ve read in a long time. For the book’s scope overall is such that it’s as much a mythology book, a book about spiritual awakening, a relevant socio-political book, as it is a paradigm-shifting book as it relates to depth psychology. The more you grasp the breakthrough nature of the emerging psychological paradigm that it represents, the more it takes you into a deeper and more insightful level of awareness. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wake-up call for the recovery of our health as a people and species
In this book, Rosenthal addresses the core issue of our culture – and helps us understand how the American values of self-interest and individualism have warped into today’s pervasive lack of empathy and increased brutality. He traces continuity from the ecstatic denialism of science and facts that accost us daily, and which has dramatically worsened our prospects of survival on this planet, to its roots in the hubris that the ancient Greeks acknowledged as an affront to the gods, on which all life depends. Revisioning Narcissism is a wake-up call for the self-reflection that is now absolutely necessary – not only for our individual wellbeing, but also for our recovery of health as a people and species.

I love this book—there’s nothing else quite like it. The mythopoeic perspective it offers reflects the soul in a way that is distinctive from anyone else writing psycho-spiritual books today.

PETER FENNER

A deftly nuanced, contemporary psychological vision—freshly informed by the wisdom of the non dual traditions … shows us how we ourselves can be freed from the trance-states of our own existence, and into a world of infinite vastness, beauty, and unencumbered intimacy.

“I love this book! It’s really important stuff, a total statement of where we are now – and the underlying cause of what’s wrong with everything. Gary Rosenthal is modern-day bard, a poet/wise person all rolled into one, and he’s also a psychotherapist. He brings healing and cultural critique, while serving as a custodian of our culture’s storehouse of myths. And he provides all these things in his new, nonfiction book, Re-Visioning Narcissism: Healing Heresies for Polarized Times.

“This is a very profound book. Normally I would skim a book before doing an interview when I’ve heard it’s good, as his is, but I couldn’t stop turning the pages. What I love about it, too, is that it creates a great deal of awareness about what we’re facing in America. It’s amazingly elucidating – I just felt wiser and uplifted from knowing what the book shares. So I want to congratulate him on writing in a way that produces that effect.”
