Joseph Campbell is the legendary mythologist who mapped out the universal patterns of the human experience. In this biography/autobiography, we explore how his own life was the ultimate reflection of the heroic quest. If you are ready to quit looking outside yourself for someone to change your life, step out of your comfort zone, and claim your inner power, this episode is your roadmap.

As Steven Pressfield brilliantly captures, a good life is made up of a thousand micro-hero's journeys every single day. In every moment, you are being called to close the gap between who you are capable of being and who you are actually being. Goats and Tigers: Most of us have forgotten who we really are because we are busy conforming to a profoundly sick society. As Krishnamurti noted, it is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a sick culture. To live heroically, you must move outside your comfort zone, face your dragons, discover your true essence, and learn how to roar.
