#ThePathoftheEverydayHero
"True heroes are those men and women who live every day with compassionate awareness, bringing fulfillment to their lives and others."

This quote from the Acknowledgements jumped up at me. Mindfulness and meditation practice leads to Awareness, and Awareness must translate to Compassion. Compassionate awareness seems to be the guiding spirit of the everyday hero's life.

From the Foreword: "When people become authentic with each other, their real stories emerge."

I #amreading #ThePathoftheEverydayHero: Drawing on the power of #myth to meet life's most important challenges, by #LornaCatford PhD and #MichaelRay PhD. This was published in 1991. Let's see if it still holds up. I have only heard of this book just last month. I think the wild success of #TheArtistsWay by #JuliaCameron, published in 1992, overshadowed The Path of the Everyday Hero. Having worked through TAW several times, my suspicion is that its teachings and tools will match well with TPOTEH.
