Overview
The Classic Guide, Updated for Our Contemporary World "Many people today want to follow their bliss: The Hero Within shows them how. Pearson honors the soul within individual families, and organizations, helping readers be true to themselves while also being responsibly engaged in the world. It should be required reading for anyone on the journey." -- Robert Johnson, author of He and She A modern classic of Jungian psychology, The Hero Within has helped hundreds of thousands of people enrich their lives by revealing how to tap the power of the archetypes that exist within. Drawing from literature, anthropology, and psychology, author Carol S. Pearson clearly defines six heroic archetypes--the Innocent, the Orphan, the Wanderer, the Warrior, the Altruist, and the Magician--and shows how we can use these powerful guides to discover our own hidden gifts, solve difficult problems, and transform our lives with rich sources of inner strength. This book will speak deeply to the evolving hero in all of us and reverberate through every part of our lives. With poignant wisdom and prolific examples, it gives us enduring tools to help us develop our own innate heroic gifts--the Orphan& 39;s resilience, the Wanderer& 39;s independence, the Warrior& 39;s courage, the Altruist& 39;s compassion, the Innocent& 39;s faith, and the Magician& 39;s abiding power.
