Product Description

Review

‘An excellent and useful book about the course our psychological development can take… .it is an evolutionary archetypal psychology.’
Jean Shinoda Bolen, M.D., author of Goddesses in Everywoman and Gods in Everyman

Product Description

In this newly revised edition of the bestselling classic The Hero Within, Carol S. Pearson gives us a unique vocabulary to explore the link between ancient archetypes and our contemporary lives.

Works like Joseph Campbell’s The Hero With a Thousand Faces have introduced readers to the significance of myth and archetype in our lives. Carol Pearson’s bestselling The Hero Within takes us further by combining literature, anthropology, and psychology to clearly define with insight and understanding, the six heroic archetypes that exists in all of us: the Innocent, the Orphan, the Wanderer, the Warrior, the Martyr, and the Magician. This substantially revised edition features new chapters that illuminate these archetypes, showing how to reach our fullest potential by achieving a balance between work, family, and the self.

Thought provoking 20 Feb 2012
By YMO
Format:Paperback
The author offers a fresh way to look at the different aspects of who we are using the language of different archetypes. She encourages us to develop the different archetypes in order to come fully into our selves. Eg if you are too much in the Warrior archetype, you tend to see battles everywhere whereas it may be more useful in some situations to bring your Innocent archetype to the fore.

Enlightening and informative, easy to read.

Discover the heroic possibilities within you 10 July 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is one of my all-time favorite books, and one of my favorite books to recommend to people. Pearson explains the Hero and the Heroic Archetypes (Warrior, Wanderer, etc.) in a clear and down-to-earth way. This is the easiest, most straightfoward, introduction I have found to Jungian and archetypal psychology. It presents powerful life-altering ideas in a readily accessible format. This book is an excellent introduction to Jungian thought. It is excellent for anyone who feels "stuck" in life. It is wonderful for people who want to understand themselves and others more deeply, especially with regard to developing higher possibilities. It is a book which helps you discover, and encourages you to pursue, what is most admirable within you.

Gives a way out... 16 Oct 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book really helped me to embrace the different stages in life and showed me how to grow into who I want to be. It not only restored my faith in "This to shall pass", but showed me how and why. It helped me to accept the lessons I needed to know then and now. It is a book I give to friends when they hit the wall. There is nothing better I can do for them.

An educators perspective 5 Aug 2000
By Anthony Pierulla - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
From the perspective of an educator who deals with students who range from young adult to fify somethings in a community college setting I found this an invaluable resource. I feel the work is of immese value as it always requires that you evaluate your current perspective and superimpose it upon those your are dealing with. If one can read through this text without repositioning their own parameters it would amazing.

It would be of particular value for anyone trying to determine their place in the overall scheme of things. The sixties manta, "the family of man on the spaceship earth," could aptly be used to subtitle this work.
