My Hero’s Journey

This book is more than just a travelogue; it is a profound memoir chronicling my hero’s journey. Leaving behind the corporate environment of Prague, I embarked on an adventure into the mystical and enchanting world of Tucson. The journey was filled with magical experiences, countless trials, and transformative moments that shaped my path.

Essence of Tucson is a tale of self-discovery and growth, deeply inspired by Carl Jung’s concept of “individuation” or self-actualization. Jung described this as a natural process of self-growth and inner transformation, where the psyche evolves toward greater self-awareness and fulfillment. Throughout my journey, I encountered incredible people and learned invaluable lessons that enriched my life.

Join me as I recount my adventures, the magic of the supernatural world, and the trials that led to a significant transformation of my inner psyche. This book is a testament to the idea that we are all made from the same matter since the beginning of time, and our journeys, though unique, are universally connected through the process of self-growth and discovery.
