Full Description
An inspiring
model and guide to navigating your personal heroic journey.
Undeniably, the
world and its people desperately need more hope. Our friends, foes, family, and
fellows are all experiencing challenging times and fighting their own battles,
and author Peter Bailey is no exception. From his current vantage point as a successful
influence in the leadership and human improvement field, one might assume he
looks back on his life (the addiction, the recovery, the travel, the
heartbreak, the love, the grief) with difficulty and hesitance. Rather, it is
exactly this kind of reflection that helped him take on the role in his story
he was meant to play: the hero.
In his debut
book, The Epic of You, Bailey uses Joseph Campbell's Heroic Journey as a
framework to plot out your past and navigate your future. More than a plot
device or literary standard, Bailey proves the Hero's Journey is an effective
and transformative life map by . . .
• detailing and
exemplifying his own epic journey,
• analyzing the
practical applications of Campbell's framework,
• and guiding
readers through their reflective process in the Heroic Journey Guidebook
section.
Far more than the standard self-help text, this
book is a personal story, a comprehensive methodology, and a step-by-step guide
to wholeness. If you're ready to rewrite your personal mythos and rekindle your
hope, this book is for you
