The 12-Archetype System and Your Heroic Journey

The Pearson 12-Archetype System is core to my work helping individuals and groups be more authentic and open to change and growth. I selected these 12 archetypes for inclusion in this system because each contributes to individual and group success and fulfillment in our time, as well as to human evolution in all times and places. What Stories Are You Living? is the latest in a series of 12-archetype books. Foundational ones are highlighted on this page along with a link to discover your archetypes by taking the PMAI® instrument. Other books also apply the system to personal growth and development and/or to professional uses, such as in leadership and organizational development, branding, psychotherapy, and coaching.
See the Publications section.

The Hero Within

This initial work was a grassroots HarperSanFrancisco best seller about the heroic journey that any of us may be taking in today’s world. I began writing it because its archetypes were talking to me, demanding that I capture what they were communicating in an accessible book. Now in its 3rd edition, The Hero Within remains timely and makes a great gift to anyone seeking purpose and meaning, whether they are starting out or in transition.

Awakening the Heroes Within

The 12-Archetype System began with this book and is the basis for the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® (PMAI®) assessment and many follow-up applied works. It links archetypes to the hero’s journey to offer an accessible, gender-balanced human development theory, updating the work of C.G. Jung, James Hillman, Joseph Campbell, and Erik Erikson to reflect changing attitudes and roles.

Persephone Rising

The heroine in the subtitle refers to women and to the feminine within both men and women. The plot shows how psychological balance is restored through greater gender equity and partnership. Each of the four mythological characters matures with the aid of three of the 12 archetypes, thus providing models for how you might live the three reported in your PMAI results as most active in you.

This assessment does for Jung’s work on archetypes what the Myers-Briggs does for type. The featured book, What Stories Are You Living?, supports the PMAI instrument by helping you to fully understand your results and use these insights in your life journey.
