Questions
Who can read what I write?
Only someone holding your phone or computer. Your answers are saved in your own browser. They are never sent to us, and we could not read them if we wanted to.
How do I keep my page?
Press “Print my page” and print it, or choose “Save as PDF” in the print window. If you clear your browser, the answers are gone, so print first.
How long does it take?
Half an hour for a first pass. Many men come back over a week. Your answers wait for you in the same browser.
My life is not heroic.
“Hero” here means the person the story happens to and who is changed by it. A man who nursed his wife for two years has made the whole journey without leaving his street. See the example.
I cannot answer one of them.
Skip it. An empty stage usually means you have not reached it yet. Find where you are.
Is this only for men?
The questions were written with men in mind, and one of them says “a changed man.” Anyone may use them.
Where do the stages come from?
From Joseph Campbell and Christopher Vogler. The questions, explanations and examples are ours. Sources.
Is this therapy?
No. It is a way of putting your life in order on one page. If something heavy comes up, talk to someone qualified.
