In "Under Saturn's Shadow," James Hollis delves into the profound psychological depths of the male psyche, exploring the haunting legacy of Saturn—the Roman god known for devouring his offspring out of fear of displacement. This compelling work examines the invisible chains that have historically bound men to cycles of fear, aggression, and self-betrayal, painting a vivid picture of the internal battle that rages within. Hollis adeptly navigates the murky waters of power, fear of the feminine, and the competitive dynamics between men, offering insightful analysis and revealing how these ancient narratives continue to shape modern masculinity. With a blend of mythological wisdom, psychological insight, and compassionate guidance, Hollis proposes pathways toward healing and wholeness. He challenges men to confront their shadows, to question the inherited stories that diminish their capacity for authenticity and connection. "Under Saturn's Shadow" is not just a critique but a beacon of hope, urging a reclamation of integrity and a courageous step toward a more liberated and fulfilling expression of manhood. It is a must-read for those seeking to understand the complexities of male identity and for anyone wishing to forge a deeper, more meaningful relationship with themselves and the world around them.

The book I’ve given most as a gift. - Neil Strauss
When men feel the wound that cannot heal, they either bury themselves in woman's arms and ask her for healing, which she cannot provide, or they hide themselves in macho pride and enforced loneliness.
— James Hollis, Under Saturn's Shadow
