EPISODE 4: WHY HEROES NEED TO OWN THEIR SHADOWS

There is a hero inside all of us. We are all born with a great capacity to achieve anything, and "anything" means we can learn to become more heroic. Awakening that hero inside us can have a transformative effect on us, and society as a whole. The Hero Inside is an entertaining read that treads the line between psychology and popular culture. It explains how we can all foster heroic traits, drawing from popular examples that range from Indiana Jones to Erin Brockovich, and from Abraham Lincoln to Rosa Parks. By the end of The Hero Inside, you might come to the realisation that you are more than you thought you were; and you might have found your very own hero inside you.

Laurence H Johns talks with Nicolai Schümann author of ‘The Hero Inside: What we can learn from Heroes’ They discuss the Hero and what it means to be a Hero. Is it when you stand on a mountain top having vanquished all of your enemies with sweat glistening off your body? Or is it being vulnerable, doing what’s right and showing up? What can we learn from heroes and more importantly the hero within?
