What Story Are You Living?

What Story Are You Living?

Explore with me the power of the stories you tell yourself. With the concept of archetypal stories we will explore the deep, unconscious patterns in the ways we perceive, organize, and interpret the events of our lives. A wide variety of these shared human themes are reflected in the great works of literature and in our personal experiences - the stories we live.

Someone once said that books furnish a room. They also change our lives. We go to books for consolation and companionship, to be transported, moved and entertained, sometimes even to be terrified. The books furnishing our rooms tell the story of our lives and also help us to make sense of them. Literature has a transforming power.

If you ever set foot in a bookshop you’ll have seen them: the multiple volumes of literary snake oil, with coverlines promising to supply the key to changing your life in ‘minutes’, ‘days’ or sometimes in just ’12 easy steps’. Needless to say, this sort of thing is not what I had in mind when I had the idea for a story about life-changing books. But nor was I looking for a straightforward route to selfimprovement through reading. Of course, there are lots of books around that suggest that there is such a route; books that tell you both how to read and what to read; books that prescribe a canon of great works and then tell you how to go about extracting the ore of a significant meaning from them.

My approach is different. Discover with me in a journey through the books you love the archetypal patterns and themes that influence your daily life. You will explore the relative influence of such archetypes as Seeker, Warrior, Creator, Sage, Jester, Magician, Lover, and more in your own life. You will learn your strengths, challenges, growth opportunities, and strategies for self-improvement.

Awaken your unrealized potential and hidden strengths to improve personal and business relationships, find new direction in career planning, or replace unproductive life patterns. Understanding your life story and the decisions you make along the way will help you on the path to a fuller, more satisfying journey.
