The Late Bloomer is the fourth volume of the Dangerous Old Woman Series with Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

"What makes talent bloom? Ask what makes a tree blossom. They are the same. It is not unfathomable. It only takes concentration. Concentration of energies is what makes a tree flower. Not bigger, not faster, not taking up more space. Rather, less space. Density. Pressure in hard places. Often, in the dark. Relentlessly. Freely. For as long as it takes. Hold faith, a gestation can go long and for good reason, and nothing much shows above ground. But then, one day..." - Clarissa Pinkola Estes, PhD

With The Late Bloomer, Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes presents volume four of her masterwork on the Wise Woman archetype, bringing you six sessions of origial tales, stories from her ethnic families, poems, blessings, and psychological commentary exploring the cycles of "burgeoning, blooming New Life."

Even as a man, this series and stories revolving around the Old Woman is a harkening back to the tales and histories of the ancestors. Truly thought provoking in every sense, with a lingering reminder to, “Misbehave With Integrity.”

Dr. Estes has come into my awareness at exactly the times in my life when I needed her wisdom most. Just as she tells (tales) us so beautifully in this book, we should look for the little cracks, the apertures, through which tiny slivers of light appear. The light is hope. And it is always there. We must look closely to see.

Wise and lovely

So helpful and wise

Books over 5 hours are hard for me to finish. This book at 7~8 hours was a joy to listen to. The author/narrator has rhythm and a beautiful voice. Her reading of The Late Bloomer is so good the book is probably better listened to than read in print.

Several times during The Late Bloomer, I gained insight that I was able to apply immediately.

Based on this book, I plan on listening to the rest of the books in this series.

Worth the investment of time
