The Theory of the Hero's Journey by Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell's theory of the hero's journey, originally outlined in his book 'The Hero with a Thousand Faces,' suggests a universal narrative underlying stories from various cultures and times. This theory deeply influenced Richard, leading him to connect it with chapters from his own book 'Falling Upward' as 'The Hero in Heroin's Journey,' emphasizing the significance of leaving the old and going on a quest to create something new.
