The Classic Guide, Updated for Our Contemporary World
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's resilience, the Wanderer's independence, the Warrior's courage, the Altruist's compassion, the Innocent's faith, and the Magician's abiding power.

Quotes

  • Anthony Korolevhas quoted6 years ago
    remember that no single one of us needs to do it all.
    If we let go of grandiosity and recognize that we all are partial and thus necessarily interdependent with others, we can share the diversity of our gifts and voices. You learn from me and I learn from you. That is how we grow, and that is how we can solve the great problems of our time. Your individual life is one stream pouring into a river of humanity. You never can know exactly how much difference your life makes, but you can know that you do matter, immeasurably
  • Anthony Korolevhas quoted6 years ago
    There is, of course, no lack of spirituality in our organizations. They are full of people with highly developed spiritual lives. It is just that to be taken seriously, most workers believe that from nine to five they have to pretend this is not so.
  • Anthony Korolevhas quoted6 years ago
    Most of our social systems lag behind human consciousness. As a result, they often can be transformed as quickly and unexpectedly
