The Epic of You: Reframe Your Past to Navigate Your Future - Hardcover

An inspiring model and guide to navigating your personal heroic journey.

Undeniably, the world and its people desperately need more hope. Our friends, foes, family, and fellows are all experiencing challenging times and fighting their own battles, and author Peter Bailey is no exception. From his current vantage point as a successful influence in the leadership and human improvement field, one might assume he looks back on his life (the addiction, the recovery, the travel, the heartbreak, the love, the grief) with difficulty and hesitance. Rather, it is exactly this kind of reflection that helped him take on the role in his story he was meant to play: the hero.

In his debut book, The Epic of You, Bailey uses Joseph Campbell's Heroic Journey as a framework to plot out your past and navigate your future. More than a plot device or literary standard, Bailey proves the Hero's Journey is an effective and transformative life map by . . .

- detailing and exemplifying his own epic journey,

- analyzing the practical applications of Campbell's framework,

- and guiding readers through their reflective process in the Heroic Journey Guidebook section.

Far more than the standard self-help text, this book is a personal story, a comprehensive methodology, and a step-by-step guide to wholeness. If you're ready to rewrite your personal mythos and rekindle your hope, this book is for you.
