From the introduction: You used to be a failure. Then you read Prof. Patrick Josephson's Modern Myths and now - well, now you're determined not to be. In addition to Josephson's motivational advice, his insights awoke something within you. A timeless archetype. A hero. It speaks to you. It relies on you. It says it will help you. Referencing Prof. Josephson's terminology, you call it your Spirit. All you have to do is get it to remember. Get the world to remember.
