Why I recommend it

Katt uses the hero’s journey to explore the uncertainty of midlife. It’s a thoughtful companion for the moment when the life you’ve built starts to feel different from the life you want.

What stayed with me

Achievement can keep us busy enough to avoid asking what we need. Making room for that question can be uncomfortable, especially when things look fine from the outside.

Who it’s useful for

People navigating a change in identity, purpose, or direction, and coaches who accompany them.

A tension or limitation

The hero’s journey is one way to understand change. A life doesn’t have to follow its stages to make sense.
