If it is true that life is an adventure and we are the protagonist of our story, then what are the call to adventure, the crossing the threshold, the belly of the whale and the freedom to live - that every hero lives in their adventure - in our daily life?
In 1994, in the book The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell described the seventeen stages of the hero's journey. A trace hidden in the weave of history and always present in all the tales of our favourite heroes. The hero and the heroine and their stories change, but the moments that mark the rhythm of their journey remain unchanged. If it is true that life is an adventure and we are the protagonist of our story then what does our hero's journey look like?
Join this 17-stage journey to discover what the call to adventure, the crossing the threshold, the belly of the whale and the freedom to live in our days are all about. A book about challenges, encounters, temptations and gifts, but most of all a book that could change the way you see the world and your life.This is not the story of a common hero or an ordinary heroine, this is your storyMillions of people were born before us and many millions more will be born after us. None of them have experienced or will experience the same adventures as us, just as none of them have achieved or will achieve the same goals as us. Ours is a unique story in the entire history of humanity.
