Synopsis
The tools of business are dynamic - capital, people, markets and ideas-all are living entities in a constant state of flux. To take these tools - to work with them and reorganize them in new and different ways to produce a positive effect in your life and your organization - is the essence of the creative process. How to get there? This work will provide a working map for the journey toward your own potential. "A lucid gateway to Joseph Campbell's monomyth of the hero's journey, particularly as it can be applied to one's career. Ginger Grant is an excellent interpreter of this invaluable but sometimes rather difficult body of work. I recommend her highly." - William Gibson, author of "Pattern Recognition". "A most remarkable technique born of a most remarkable vision! This book grounds the world of business management and corporate organization in a mythological psychology. It demonstrates practically a way to give creativity and imagination to the real life of the workplace. A unique and important contribution to the field!" - David L. Miller, PhD.

"Ginger Grant's creative reimagining of the work place promises any who will consider her mythic approach to 'doing business' a more flexible and humane corridor out of the stilted and calcified set of rules and formats that govern its behavior. Her leading impulse, that the corporate ethos will change dramatically only when it understands and accepts its own functioning mythology, promises to reanimate the place where we spend the best energies of our lives." - Dennis Patrick Slattery, Core Faculty, Pacifica Graduate Institute and author of "Grace in the Desert" and "The Wounded Body".

It's Official - Redheads are Hot!
OK - the review title's a little flippant but this review is far from it! Ginger has written a fabulous book which provides a very user-friendly introduction to the work of Joseph Campbell and his influences. She makes the topics of mythology and spirituality very accessible to anyone on a mission to make sense of the story of their own personal journey through life and to make comparisons with the evolution of their organisation. This is a subject of the hour, for the hour. I would have liked a little more judicious use of imagery and inspirational models but then it would have been a lot more expensive. Highly recommend investing in the wise words of the Vancouver sage!
