The Other Within

The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture, and Psyche

Daniel Deardorff

Explore the power of myth and the medicine it contains to heal trauma, exile, illness, and grief. In The Other Within, the author draws on shamanic practice, quantum physics, alchemy, soul poetry, and his own experience to guide readers on an initiatory journey toward discovering our true identity. He shows how the archetypal figures of the Other can offer insight into reframing disparities and recognize the blessings of outsiderhood. Through myth-making, the experience of Otherness becomes a catalyst for human liberation and restoring our relationship with the world.
