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's resilience, the Wanderer's independence, the Warrior's courage, the Altruist's compassion, the Innocent's faith, and the Magician's abiding power.Preface to the Expanded Edition.The Hero's Journey.
