### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ and provides great insight into the ways that we can all meet ...
*by L***M on September 7, 2017*

In her widely-acclaimed book, The Hero Within, Carol Pearson reminds the reader of the ways in which we can be heroic in our daily lives. She does this by identifying the archetypal stages of development that we all go through, and illuminates the tasks that must be mastered in order to successfully move on to the next stage. She offers a clear description of each of these stages: Innocent, Orphan, Wanderer, Warrior, Martyr, and Magician, and provides great insight into the ways that we can all meet the challenge of fulfilling their requirements with skill and courage. In successfully meeting these challenges we develop inner strengths and virtues that last a lifetime. I have personally benefited greatly from reading this book and other books by Carol Pearson and I highly recommend it! - Linda Bloom Co-Author of 101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married, Secrets of Great Relationships, and Happily Ever After... and 39 Myths about Love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I could not put it down!
*by A***S on August 27, 2013*

This book in essence for me was a life changer. Friends of mine recommended the book to me. I was somewhat skeptical of the concepts when one of them kept repeating "we're magicians, we're magicians!" I said to myself "witchcraft?!" oh nah this book is not for me. I stand corrected, this book is for EVERYONE! I could not stop myself from turning the next page. Each page revealed another secret behind the human psyche and all the potential we possess if we listen to our archetypes and the experiences that we face throughout our lives. I can understand myself and others with a clearer conscience because of this book. The author is witty, thoughtful, and filled with so much wisdom. Excellent read. This book will reside amongst my favorite reads!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ NICE TRY BUT THE WORD IS NOT THE THING
*by M***N on August 17, 2019*

The so-called Archetypes are no more. As the poets might put it, they've long since fled, leaving a vacuum in the psyche that nothing can fill.What is left isn't to be considered an Arche-Type at all, not a primal, original influence.What's left is a husk or zombie. We've been so outer-directed and anti-psychological for so long, it's a case of Elvis has long left the building.This book is addressed, therefore, to no one in particular. Certainly no one in the US. No one has ever done any Shadow Work, and no one intends to. Too busy shopping, brawling and voting for the new boss-man offering chains of gold.Big Pharma knows this all too well, and supplies the Happy Pills for those wishing to simply anesthetize hurt and anger. No Shadow Work involved. No Shadow Work in sight. We're not only in an anti-psychological age, we are in a non-psychological age. We have the word, and little else.Socialism spreads its poison, and the world objects to any kind of heroism except that of the Mob. The individual is nixed and his ways null and void. There is no psychology of the Individual, only of the Crowd. We have the Will to Negation, not the Will to Meaning directed by any wholesome Jungian archetypes.Now that the Shadow and the rest of the archetypes have been uninstalled and simulated by the artificial society - purchasable in the toddlers section of Toys R Us - we have our satori. No inner distress at all from being Selves. The ego is cut free to be one with the cosmos, to inflate itself to epic proportions and dictate what's right for the world. Hence the rise of Socialism in America. Hence the political histrionics of the "Emancipated." Yawn.Now that the psyche itself has been voided, we can now merrily get on with disingenuous chit-chat ABOUT psychological themes."I tried that having a psyche thing, and didn't like it." And now that the corpse is dead and buried, we can cover the crime by TALKING about it. We can throw up Carol Pearson, Debbie Ford, Caroline Myss, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra and Oprah to pontificate on it from morning till night.And we'll go for it. self-deception being the rule and order of the day. We must maintain the window-dressing. Hail Dr. Phil.It all falls down once we remember - the word is definitely NOT the thing.As Jung himself predicted, what we've got is absurdity from those who'll do anything to avoid facing their souls. Religion once offered the means of doing this, and now we've got psychiatry and neo-Jungians who've completely missed the plot, acting as apologists for the necrophilous society rather than as its severest critics.Sadly, although this book is worth reading, it's endless politically-correct anecdotes reveal the author to be herself deeply neurotic. She's obviously the victim of negative Shadow and Animus projections, or in her own profiling model, she's possessed by Orphan and Altruist archetypes (parodies of them that is).The genuine archetypes have long fled the scene. But as Nietzsche said, we're left worshiping the serpents in the ruins and ashes of the cathedrals and temples that once stood high and strong.*** *** ***
