Daniel Deardorff’s The Other Within: The Genius of Deformity in Myth, Culture and Psyche is an initiatory journey through ancient myths, wisdom literature, and personal revelation. Having survived disabling polio as an infant, Deardorff knew well the oppressions of exclusion, outsiderhood, and the betrayals endured by all who are “othered.” His book guides us to discover our own true identity and honor the “other” that lives within each of us and within society, the exiled part that carries wisdom so desperately needed for ourselves and the culture at large. Originally published in 2004, this new 3rd edition published by Inner Traditions on November 8, 2022, includes commentaries by Robert Bly, Martin Shaw, and Robert Simmons and words from Judith-Kate Friedman. https://www.innertraditions.com/books/the-other-within

Deardorff (1952-2019) was also a musician and a beloved long-time resident of Port Townsend, WA.
