The path of the everyday hero by Lorna Catford P.h.D. and Michael Ray P.h.D.

Every day, life is challenging. Discovering what you truly want, how to go after it, how to form deep relationships - these are on-going questions that may trip you up or even completely block your path to success. But instead of being frustrated by such challenges, you can learn to see them as the very heart of life and meet them with zest.

In this unique book, Lorna Catford and Michael Ray present a new way to accomplish all your important human tasks: to become an everyday hero, someone who, like the great figures of ancient myths, learns through life's varied adventures to think creatively, choose wisely, and trust his or her inner resources.

The Path of the Everyday Hero taps into what Joseph Campbell, Robert Bly, Sam Keen, Jean Houston, and others have identified as the instructive power of myth. Here, the authors connect five classic stories to five of life's most important challenges. By reading and contemplating these stories, you can glean fresh insights for your own journey.

• In Perceval and the Holy Grail, you will learn how to live to fulfill your true purpose.
• In Beauty and the Beast, you will see how to create loving relationships.
• In The Peasant Who Married a Goddess, you will discover how to use your inner resources to reduce the stresses and confusions of modern living.
• In Theseus and the Minotaur, you will find a way to balance the competing demands of your personal and professional life.
• In Cinderella, you will explore values beyond material wealth to enrich your life.

Wherever you may be in life right now and whatever challenges lie in front of you, The Path of the Everyday Hero will help you see your journey in a heroic perspective, and live every day with greater joy, strength, and fulfillment.
