patterns that can aid inner development and the quest for "wholeness" that is
life's journey. The archetypes listed in this book are all inner guides that
have "been with the human race since the dawn of time...coded in the genetic
programming of the species". The author offers a deeper understanding of the
journey and its pitfalls, confronting the suffering and loss that are as much a
part of human development as victories that result in increased authenticity
and power.; Additional features include a chapter on gender and diversity within
traditional archetypal patterns, a new look at addiction and recovery and a
"heroic myth index" for recognizing the active archetypes in our lives. Also
included are exercises for developing these archetypes and tapping into their
power.
