Book Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Mandala Experience, September 7, 2000

By A Customer
The "Mandala" is a beautiful book of the many cultures that experience this sacred path. I followed the step by step process of the Mandala. It taught me how to meditate & become aware of the underlying intellegence. I reccomend this book to anyone in search of the truth of who they truly are. This is a form of meditation that opens doors to your Inner World.
