  If you would understand the deepest roots of terrorism, greed, and religious fanaticism, read Facing the Dragon. But be forewarned: you may find some offshoots in your own garden.

5 Stars Extends the work on grandiosity
by Robert Bly on Oct 26, 2007
  I like this book very much. It extends the work of Kohut and others on grandiosity, that mysterious overestimation of ourselves that often disturbs our childhood. If this grandiosity is quashed too early, it is a disaster. If it is not disciplined at all, it is equally damaging. The question is what to do with the God energy in a time of secularism. Moore gives frightening answers to questions people haven't even begun to ask. This is a brave and important book.
