A gift from Carol Pearson and Me to U To send FREE ecard with inspirational quotes please go to my page @ www.sharacard.com Art by Shara Banisadr "the heroic quest is about saying YES to yourself and I so doing, becoming more fully alive and more effective in the world... " Carol Pearson describes her influential bestseller as an operating manual for the psyche. She has said that she wrote it for ordinary people who feel they could live extraordinary lives, and convincingly sets out to show how harnessing the power of mythic archetypes (for example, the Warrior, the Altruist) is a key to personal transformation. The Hero Within is no learned treatise, but its sheer accessibility has made Jungian archetypal psychology understood by a popular audience. Apart from Jung, Pearson admits her large debt to Joseph Campbell, the mythologist who made popular the idea of the heros journey (see The Power of Myth) and James Hillman (see The Souls Code).
