Essential reading - full of fundamental revelations
A thorough exploration of power in all its senses. Reclaims power as it should be understood. I didn't want the book to end - apart from anything else, it meant I had to do something about what I had read...

Hillman is authoritative, erudite and comprehensive.
James Hillman's book Kinds of Power, srikes a chord of resonance at every root "chakra" in the human body. Two dozen associates under the rubric of "power" are brought to bear upon the reader. Hillman appears to "make up" his analysis as he goes along, but, with his intellect and breadth of pedantic knowledge, he stays a steady course from start to finish. Hillman is convincing, forever analytical and sufficiently critical. He does have a way of getting off the path at times and entertains his way through some tough issues by employing a bit of sophism. Nonetheless, overall, a book well worth reading.
