From the Back Cover'In the following pages, I have attempted to connect the dots between some of the ancient wisdom traditions as I have understood them all throughout my life and the costumed superhero characters who fill up the modern mythologies of today. We have to not only identify in these dozens of characters certain aspirational qualities that already lie dormant in us, but we must also nurture them with the powerful ingredients of intention, attention, and action, so that we can create a new cast of characters. If we succeed, the result will be a profound road map for living to our full potential, discovering the superhero within, and rewriting the story of humanity.'Deepak Chopra, from the Introduction'Superheroes have been part of the world's culture since long before Superman and Spider-Man.
