Renowned archetype expert Carol S. Pearson guides you through the journey of discovering and understanding the archetypes active in your life. These universal themes may be invisible to you now but through this book you will learn how they inspire the behaviors and relationships that drive your life story.

This book, and the free access to the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® (PMAI®) instrument that comes with it, reveals how we can live our archetypal stories more consciously and powerfully. Its larger purpose is to develop our narrative intelligence and our capacity to recognize story patterns in ourselves and in the world as a fundamental life skill.

Dr. Pearson, coauthor of the PMAI® assessment, internationally recognized scholar, and well-known author of numerous books, shares actionable ideas, theories and data throughout the book. Readers will find two rich sets of archetype descriptions to help recognize archetypal patterns in our inner and outer life, along with numerous inspiring examples of how people utilize this knowledge to enhance their lives.

So many of us today are yearning for greater depth, and we can use archetypal stories as portals to find that depth as we engage in the practical tasks of living moral and productive lives.
