Barack, Lance, Oprah, & Rudy: Exploring Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey in Contemporary American Society

Joseph Campbell provided a series of steps that each person undergoes on their own unique Hero's Journey. Although these steps are based on mythological stories from the beginning of time, they are all still highly relevant to our current world, and this book explores this idea in the lives of Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Lance Armstrong, & Rudy Giuliani. Joe Guse has studied the work of Joseph Campbell extensively, and is also working on a book about the application of the Hero's Journey in Individual Psychology.
