Mike Pegg, the “Positive Encourager,” incorporates the Hero’s Journey in his approach to Positive Psychology and Positive Philosophies. His website “looks at how we can help people to build on their strengths and achieve their picture of success” and “explores how we can encourage both present and future generations.
