“How marvelous to have in one volume a brilliantly lucid and compassionate account of the multicultural tradition of alchemy written from the point of view of practical guidance for everyday life. The Alchemist Within excels in that most elusive of feats: writing for the novice without sacrificing scholarly depth. This is a book to read, re-read and to treasure. It contextualizes alchemy in its multiple sources and histories, clarifies its role in Jungian depth psychology, and gently demonstrates its potential to deepen, transcend and transform our lives in this troubled century. A truly wonderful and unmissable resource.”
