This book explores the timeless patterns of human storytelling and the universal journey of transformation found in myths across cultures. Campbell’s insights into the Hero’s Journey closely mirror the process of Posttraumatic Growth, offering a powerful framework for understanding how struggle, challenge, and self-discovery can lead to a more meaningful life. His work supports PTG by helping individuals make sense of their experiences and see themselves as the heroes of their own stories.
