Psychotherapist Emil Barna surveys the psychological and clinical themes that appear in his reading of Tolkien's The Fellowship of the Ring. He explores Frodo's call to action, the classic good vs. evil dichotomy, fear, trauma, depression, courage, self-esteem, and a whole lot more through the eyes (and words) of the characters in this book.
From Gandalf's retelling of the story of the Ring, the addictive grip the Ring has on Sméagol, Tom Bombadil's carefree attitude, Elrond's shrewdness, the hobbits' courage, and Gimli's no-nonsense approach, Emil covers how we can all learn lifelong lessons from this book, making us more aware and brave human beings.
