In this original work, based on 20 years of research, Carol Pearson shows that the heroic quest is available to every person. We all have access to the common archetypes that enhance personal development. Part I introduces the heroic quest as a journey of consciousness and traces the way archetypes aid in constructing and balancing the psyche as they help a person form the Ego, connect with the Soul, develop a sense of true self, and finally express that self in the world. Parts II, III, and IV explore in detail the archetypal guides that play a role in the journey through life. Part V looks at how the journey is affected by age, gender, culture, and a person's uniqueness.
