Imagine you've come to a point in your life that feels like a fork in the road; one direction things stay the same, and in the other, you change things dramatically. For Ben Katt, this "second half" of life can feel like the archetypal hero's journey, one of leaving what's comfortable, falling down on the journey toward something new, and then rising. In this episode, Ben shares insights from his book, The Way Home: Discovering the Hero's Journey to Wholeness at Midlife, and how he answered his own call to adventure.
