“Few things are as important to a human being as the combination of love and soul-making. This beautifully written book shows you how to serve your soul while allowing love to have its way with you – a path to meaning and pleasure.”

“Shelby, brilliantly and convincingly argues, romance is first and foremost about the individual’s calling to love soul, their own soul, and the soul of the world, and reciprocally to find soul in, to make soul from, and to serve soul through love’s many expressions”

“Soulful ecstasy awaits those who surrender to the hidden agenda of romantic love”

“Shelby illuminates what an Eros-inspired life might look like. With a gaze focused on the soul and the ancient myth of Eros and Psyche as a guide, Shelby offers us ways in which to engage the foundational and archetypal energies of love. Through this lens, love and passion infuse all areas of living, within and beyond intimate partnerships. As Shelby writes, “The truth we hold close is that love is everything, and because love has this power, it is always there within us and within those we love.” In this insightful book, we come to understand the extraordinary creative energies available to us through love—Eros— as well as the myriad forms in which these energies might make themselves known.”

“Love and Soul-Making is a ground breaking and relevant book that is both personally rewarding and ultimately points toward transformative balm on a larger societal scale during troubled and divisive times.”

“Stacey Shelby’s book on the archetype of the wild woman is a brave and deeply thoughtful and honest exploration of the complex, mysterious and often troubling interconnections between love, sexuality, and our search for inner wholeness.”

THANK YOU FOR A TRULY MAGNIFICENT BOOK
Thank you for a truly magnificent book. You raw emotional honesty makes your work memorable. My viewpoint on our female experience has been affected in a very positive way. Somehow the way the you describe our socialization has made it much more possible for me to stand up against those beliefs in my own mind. I feel freer as a result of reading your book.

5 OUT OF 5 STARS – OH, HELL YES!
My poor reading chair. Having always welcomed me with open arms, providing both emotional and lumbar support, she may have finally had enough as I repeatedly slammed my palm on her faithful arm, followed by a slew of positive profanities Oprah would politely label “A-hah!” moments.

Tracking The Wild Woman Archetype articulates that which I have felt and partially experienced, but have been unable to put in words. Through Dr. Shelby’s personal experiences, insight and research, what has been intrinsic is taking an conscious and obvious shape. I highly recommend this book for all who wish to have a deeper understanding of oneself and our shared path.
