The Modern Hero’s Journey Perseus–Hercules–Asclepius: Sword, Labor, and Healing

Long description The Modern Hero's Journey is a mythic-modern field guide for people who feel ruled by bosses, algorithms, or inherited weather. Told in clean, cinematic prose, it follows a working man through sixteen jobs, three great loves, and one late vocation: turning monsters into patterns and patterns into practice. Across boardrooms, bedrooms, and quiet kitchens, he stops auditioning for Olympus and learns to build weatherproof rooms. Hercules becomes a method (repetition under fair terms), Perseus a stance (reflection over reaction), and Asclepius a craft (repair that respects reality). Prometheus shows up as licensed fire—books, field notes, and small lessons that buy time and sovereignty. Aphrodite teaches eros without domination; Athena teaches strategy without cages; Medusa teaches naming wounds without worshipping them. For creators, managers, founders, educators, and anyone who's tired of mistaking weather for law, this book offers a way to live and work with authored voltage—strong enough to light a room, humble enough to boil water. Name the sky. Ground your grid. Carry your fire in your own name.
