These narratives illustrate how storytelling is crucial to the process of reconciliation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stories included within this book feature both familiar and forgotten ones: e.g., \"The Fisherman and the Djinn\" from Arabia; \"Why the Platypus Is Special\" from Australia; the Native American, \"How Nanapush Brought the Peace Pipe to the People,\" and the ancient Greek tale of \"Baucis and Philemon\". The anthology retells the tales and discusses them in terms of psychological and spiritual development - the role of individuation and wisdom in reconciling disputes. The tales reveal astonishing cross-cultural similarities about how to do so, and directly apply to many modern dilemmas. Particularly important is a new paradigm of truth and transformation illustrated by long overlooked tales of the Greek Muses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Muses of Truth and Transformation\u003c\/em\u003e draws on Chinen's research in adult cognitive, emotional, and spiritual development.
