Publisher's summary

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

Are you waiting for New Life, for your talents to bloom? 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."

True Wisdom Has Never Been So Soft Spoken

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.”

Great book 💫

There's so much wisdom in this book. I'm only in chapter 3 and it's already completely worth it. The author, who is also the narrator, tells stories and then discusses their meanings and their value to us. I knew them superficially before, but hearing the author's insights has given me another much-needed perspective. I can't wait to hear the rest of this book.

fantastic

First stories I've heard from dr. Estes changed my life in a way I can not thank enough for, after some time, sitting and thinking of the stuff she said, it's still carved in my memory and I never stopped learning from it.
But this stories hit right in the vein. She will most accurately describe either you or someone you know trough her magical stories, in a way you've never experienced. With her mellow motherly wise voice.

I couldn't recommend this enough.
