Publisher's Summary

Have you ever wondered why people love hero stories so much? The Hero's Guidebook will tell you the secret reason we find heroes so exciting and inspirational! This audiobook takes listeners through the stages of the hero's journey using examples from books, films, and even video games. 

Sample stories include The Wizard of Oz, Alice in Wonderland, The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Hobbit, Star Wars, Harry Potter series, "The Little Mermaid", "Aladdin", The Lion King and superheroes like Batman, Spider-Man, Super Mario Bros, not to mention popular stories from myth and legend. Important archetypes like the Hero, the Mentor, the Shadow, the Ally, the Trickster, and the Threshold Guardian appear, as well. 

Each stage of the hero's journey also features writing tips for aspiring writers and a character education - "your journey" section - which applies story lessons from a hero to real life.
