In The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell introduced readers to the significance of myth and archetype in understanding who we are and how we live our lives. Carol Pearson's bestselling The Hero Within combines literature, anthropology, and psychology to clearly define, with insight and understanding, the six heroic archetypes that exist in all of us. This expanded edition features exercises designed to awaken and illuminate these archetypes so that we may make better sense of ourselves and our life-journeys.
