"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).

Ah... so many pearls on one silken strand. A lovely dialogue with the soul on this last day of the year which was so very much like the torrid sea. Now, I look with hope to a new year in which I can claim these sweet pearls as my own but I would not have discovered them had I not plunged into the deep waters. There is, however, a time for confronting dragons and a time for letting them get back to their sleep. (That is when you can best steal their gold... especially if you are a tasty maiden :)
