I’m trying to find the principles she’s using” —R. Buckminster Fuller A book goes out like a wave rolling over the surface of the sea. Ideas radiate from the author’s mind and collide with other minds, triggering new waves that return to the author. These generate further thoughts and emanations, and so it goes. The concepts described in The Writer’s Journey have radiated and are now echoing back interesting challenges and criticisms as well as sympathetic vibrations. This is my report on the waves that have washed back over me from publication of the book, and on the new waves I send back in response. In this book I described the set of concepts known as “The Hero’s Journey,” drawn from the depth psychology of Carl G.Jung and the mythic studies of Joseph Campbell. I tried to relate those ideas to contemporary storytelling, hoping to create a writer’s guide to these valuable gifts from our innermost selves and our most distant past. I came looking for the design principles of storytelling, but on the road I found something more; a set of principles for living. I came to believe that the Hero’s Journey is nothing less than a handbook for life, a complete instruction manual in the art of being human. The Hero’s Journey is not an invention, but an observation. It is a recognition of a beautiful design, a set of principles that govern the conduct of life and the world of storytelling the way physics and chemistry govern the physical world. It’s difficult to avoid the sensation that the Hero’s Journey exists somewhere, somehow, as an eternal reality, a Platonic ideal form, a divine model. From this model, infinite and highly varied copies can be produced, each resonating with the essential spirit of the form. IX THE WRITER’S JOURNEY/Vogler The Hero’s Journey is a pattern that seems to extend in many dimensions, describing more than one reality. It accurately describes, among other things, the process of making a journey, the necessary working parts of a story, the joys and despairs of being a writer, and the passage of a soul through life. A book that explores such a pattern naturally partakes of this multi-dimensional quality. The Writer’s Journey was intended as a practical guidebook for writers, but can also be read as a guide to the life lessons that have been carefully built into the stories of all times. Some people have even used it as a kind of travel guide, predicting the inevitable ups and downs of making a physical journey. A certain number of people say the book has affected them on a level that may have nothing to do with the business of telling a story or writing a script. In the description of the Hero’s Journey they might have picked up some insight about their own lives, some useful metaphor or way of looking at things, some language or principle that defines their problem and suggests a way out of it. They recognize their own problems in the ordeals of the mythic and literary heroes, and are reassured by the stories that give them abundant, time-tested strategies for survival, success, and happiness. Other people find validation of their own observations in the book. From time to time I meet people who know the Hero’s Journey well although they may never have heard it called by that name. When they read about it or hear it described, they experience the pleasurable shock of recognition as the patterns resonate with what they’ve seen in stories and in their own lives. I had the same reaction when I first encountered these concepts in Campbell’s book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces, and heard him speak about them with passion. Campbell himself felt it when he first heard his mentor, Heinrich Zimmer, speak about mythology.

  • Tom Caricature 8/15/14, 4:15 PM
    Tom Caricature 8/15/14, 4:15 PM Tom Caricature The Tom caricature portrays black men as faithful, happily submissive servants. The Tom caricature, like the Mammy caricature, was born in ante-bellum America in the defense of slavery. How could slavery be wrong, argued its proponents, if black servants, males (Toms) and females (Mammies), were contented and loyal? The Tom is presented as a smiling, wide-eyed, dark skinned server: fieldworker, cook, butler, porter, or waiter. Unlike the Coon, the Tom is portrayed as a dependable worker, eager to serve. Unlike the Brute, the Tom is docile and non-threatening to whites. The Tom is often old, physically weak, psychologically dependent on whites for approval. In his book, Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies, & Bucks, Donald Bogle (1994) summarizes the depiction of Toms in movies: Always as toms are chased, harassed, hounded, flogged, enslaved, and insulted, they keep the faith, n'er turn against their white massas, and remain hearty, submissive, stoic, generous, selfless, and oh-so-very kind. Thus they endear themselves to white audiences and emerge as heroes of sorts. (pp. 5-6) Bogle's description is similar to the portrayal of the main black character in Harriet Beecher Stowe's antislavery novel Uncle Tom's Cabin. Stowe's Tom is a gentle, humble, Christian slave. His faith is simple, natural, and complete. Stowe uses Tom's character to show the perfect gentleness and forgiving nature which she believed lay dormant in all blacks. These qualities reveal themselves under favorable conditions. Mr. Shelby, Tom's first Master is kind; therefore, Tom's innate spirituality flourishes.

  • Introduction
    1 Hedgehogs and foxes in the twenty-first century. Introduction The philosopher Isaiah Berlin wrote that there are two types of people in the world – hedgehogs and foxes. Hedgehogs know “one big thing”, and they know it well, relating “everything to a single central vision”. They are specialists, and they have dedicated their lives to honing a particular skill. Foxes, on the other hand, have developed a repertoire of skills and tricks. They “pursue many ends, often unrelated and even contradictory”. While not as proficient as the hedgehog in its “one big thing” (Berlin 1967), the fox is wily and adaptable - its skills are wide-ranging, allowing it to handle threats more easily than a hedgehog ever could. A polymath, or the fox of this analogy, is defined on the challenge homepage as someone who is “well-rounded, broadly knowledgeable and capable across the arts and sciences, and able to approach problems holistically” (Peter Drucker Challenge 2019). While the overarching theme of the challenge is ‘the renaissance manager’, I think that this extends to the everyday renaissance worker too. After all, Peter Drucker did not hesitate to extend the concept of management to personal life (Drucker 1999) – in a way, we are all renaissance managers, whether of a business, our families or even just in our own lives. When I first set out to write this essay, I intended to prove the superiority of polymaths over specialists, and how a changing twenty-first century world requires foxes who are able to adapt and adjust. While this is partially true, I also became increasingly convinced that in this, like most things, moderation is key.
