In "We," celebrated Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson embarks on a revelatory journey into the heart of romantic love, unraveling its psychological underpinnings and its immense capacity to influence our relationships. With profound insight and eloquent prose, Johnson deciphers the intricate tapestry of love's origins, its historical evolution, and its pivotal role in human connection. Through a compelling examination of myth, literature, and personal anecdote, "We" illuminates the path to understanding love's complex nature and its power to transform individuals and societies alike. Johnson's work is a masterful exploration of love's dual nature, both as a source of sublime happiness and as a catalyst for deep emotional turmoil. He guides readers through the labyrinth of romantic entanglements, offering wisdom on navigating the challenges and embracing the opportunities for growth and renewal. "We" is not just a book; it is a profound invitation to reflect on the essence of love, encouraging a harmonious balance between the mystical and the practical. This seminal text promises to rejuvenate the most important relationships in our lives, making it an indispensable guide for anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of love's true potential.

A very short, easily read book about the traps that people get themselves into in romantic relationships. - Dr. Andrew Weil
On the "books read" section of Emma Watson's GoodReads profile.
Animus is the soul in woman just as anima is the soul in man. Animus usually personifies himself as a masculine force and appears in women’s dreams as a masculine figure. Women relate to their animus side differently than men relate to anima, but there is one thing that men and women have in common: Romantic love always consists in the projection of the soul-image. When a woman falls in love it is animus that she sees projected onto the mortal man before her. When a man drinks of the love potion, it is anima, his soul, that he sees superimposed on a woman.
— Robert A. Johnson, We
