Joseph Campbell's hero's journey model has been used over and over in all sorts of areas.  George Lucas used it to write Star Wars.  Many people are using it to write novels, films, plays.  Some use it as a model for living their life.  I'm using it for all of the above and hope to show you the many faces of this great idea from Campbell.

Campbell's "Hero With a Thousand Faces" has been a great influence on me. Nice to find a lens that focuses on the heropath!
