About The Necktie And The Jaguar: A Memoir To Help You
Product Description Compelling reading for anyone seeking the courage to make more conscious choices and live fully awake, The Necktie and The Jaguar is a memoir with thought-provoking questions that encourage self-exploration. Author Carl Greer-businessman, philanthropist, and retired Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist-offers an illuminating roadmap to individuation and personal transformation. Greer found security in conforming to the cultural expectations of a postwar, midwestern, middle-class upbringing after a childhood tragedy taught him to constrict his emotions. Becoming president of an independent oil and gas company, he drove his team to success and built his wealth only to find in midlife that his spiritual self was crying out for expression. Undergoing Jungian analysis and becoming an analyst himself offered some soul nourishment. So did studying and practicing martial arts, whose principles helped him navigate challenges in the world of work. Still, it wasn't until Greer took a deep dive into shamanic training and practice that he was able to embody the qualities and emotions he had long denied and turn his attention to philanthropy. Writing about his spiritual practices and reflecting on his vulnerabilities, Greer tells of honoring his longings for purpose and meaning, journeying to transpersonal realms, reinventing his life, and devoting himself to service to others while living with deep respect for Pachamama, Mother Earth. His memoir is an inspirational testament to the power of self-discovery. As Carl Greer learned, you don't have to feel trapped in a story someone else has written for you. Review Greer offers the story of his evolution from business leader to shamanic practitioner...Greer's work is filled with engaging moments of self-reflection . . . {He} effectively invites readers to look closely at the ways they may be unknowingly limiting their own potential. ... The book's ultimate message is that when one accepts one's true self, one can discover new creativity, passion, and possibilities. A compelling and cathartic remembrance and self-help guide." -- Kirkus "A spiritual memoir for readers who would better understand the intersection between spiritual practice and perception and everyday living . . . {P}sychological and business lessons also permeate this exploration of inner worlds and spiritual paths, giving them a concrete foundation that is lacking in too many other memoirs of spiritual enlightenment. This is the very factor that makes The Necktie and the Jaguar so accessible to audiences that might not ordinarily pick up a memoir about fulfillment and enlightenment. Greer is quite honest about his struggles... The Necktie and the Jaguar will reach New Age, spirituality, and traditional business book readers alike with a story that holds a blueprint for achieving a different, ultimately more satisfying, life. . . {A} testament to the power of self-discovery, offering the reader insight and inspiration. As Carl Greer learned, you don't have to feel trapped in a story someone else has written for you... {G}ripping." --California Book Watch "The stories he tells are honest, brave, enlightening, and inspirational. . . . offers some spiritual guidance." -- Krysta Gibson, New Spirit Journal "Carl Greer has written a moving testimonial to the reality of transformation in life's journey toward psychological and spiritual wholeness. This narrative of his personal experience should be an inspiration and encouragement to others who find themselves also along the Way."-- Murray Stein, PhD, Jungian analyst, past president of the International Association for Analytical Psychology, and author of Jung's Map of the Soul "Carl Greer is an explorer who clearly throws himself wholeheartedly into every angle of himself that he chooses to invest in. The result of his life search is this powerful narrative, which is a testament to his journey through the material, psy
