The Superman Syndrome--The Magic of Myth in The Pursuit of Power by Gene N Landrum Phd

The Positive Mental Moxie of Myth for Personal Growth

Joseph Campbell defined a myth as a life-shaping image, a metaphor that creates a hero out of those who heed it. Author Dr. Gene Landrum takes Campbell's definition one step further by offering a variety of motivational techniques that will propel you to heroic success.

Dr. Landrum describes the superman syndrome as a series of common behaviors that permit an otherwise average person to rise above the norm. He points out that some of the world's most renowned visionaries--Catherine the Great, Walt Disney, and Ian Fleming--did not conform to tradition because they modeled their behavior on heroic ideals and mythical mentors.
