Episode 11: Archetypes, Heroic Journeys and Anti-heroes In Men

The Evolved Caveman w/ Dr. John Schinnerer

Star Wars. Lord Of The Rings. Call Of Duty. Homer’s Odyssey. Spiderman. All are examples of the Hero’s Journey. Popularized by the famed mythologist Joseph Campbell, this story arc is etched into our minds and hearts as what we are to do if we are to succeed as men. Yet, what happens if our lives are merely ordinary? What if we never get the chance to be a hero? Do we matter any less? Find out more in this week’s episode of The Evolved Caveman Podcast.

Topics covered:

What are archetypes and why should you care?

What is the Hero’s Journey? What is the Anti-hero’s Journey?

How can the Hero’s Journey be damaging to boys?

The archetypes we normally hear about in men’s work are the king, the magician, the warrior and lover. What are some of the other archetypes that have something important to teach us?

Why is it so important to create space between clients’ selves and their culture?

How has the trope of the bromance damaged men?
