When we are struggling, when we have a hard time focusing, or when we have a hard time in general, we may turn to others for help. We may even wish we had a hero to help us. Well, today we offer you some advice. Turn yourself into your own hero! That is the idea behind Kendra Levin’s self-help book The Hero Is You. When you make yourself the hero of your own life, Levin suggests, you not only gain focus but also purpose. To date, The Hero Is You has been translated into Turkish and Russian. Levin based her idea on the teachings of American professor and writer Joseph Campbell and his Hero’s Journey. Campbell studied stories from many different time periods and many different cultures. He found that many stories had something in common: a hero who goes on a journey. On this journey, the hero overcomes a great challenge and then comes home changed for the better. Making ourselves the hero in our own story, Levin explains, helps us in many ways.
