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.

THE HERO WITHIN
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 best-selling '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.
Carol S. Pearson, Ph.D., is the co-author of 'Who Am I This Time?' and 'The Female Hero in American and British Literature' and president of Meristem, a nonprofit organization that offers training in personal and professional growth.
"An excellent and useful book about the course our psychological development can take, with stages represented by common archetypes that most of us know...(Pearson's) is an evolutionary archetypal psychology"
JEAN SHINODA BOLEN, author of 'Goddesses in Everywoman' and 'Gods in Everyman'
"Gives us a vocabulary- Innocent, Orphan, Wanderer, Warrior, Martyr, Magician- to subsume a wide range of patterns of human relationships, both positive and negative. The results are remarkably insightful and self-revelatory...It is a joy to read."
