"The Necktie and the Jaguar is an interactive memoir-the story of Carl Greer reinventing his life as a result of honoring his longings for meaning and purpose. As you read his story, you might wonder how you would tell yours and how those who know you would tell it. You might never have asked yourself, "What is my story, really, if I'm honest about it?" or "How did that story-my thoughts and perceptions about what I have experienced-come about?" Answering these questions can help you acknowledge your truth and begin to break out of old, constricting patterns and live according to your soul's needs. You might well find yourself listening to the call of the jaguar-the call to let go of any fears of transformation and step into the unknown as you begin to change your life"--

A Memoir to Help You Change Your Story and Find Fulfillment

The Necktie and the Jaguar

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.
