Through this combination of reminiscence and guidance, Searching for Heroes in Life shows how one may look at the ordinary people who cross ones path and see in them the special qualities that make them heroic.

Book Description
In Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2: What the Coronavirus Pandemic Tells Us about Heroes, author Charles Brookins Taylor Sr. delves into the far-reaching impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having throughout America, and worldwide, and how it affects every aspect of life. Through the combination of observing and dialoguing with heroes from a broad sector of society, he shows how the pandemic highlights these heroes like never before. Taylor draws upon Abraham Maslow’s famous Hierarchy of Needs—physiological, security, social, esteem, and self-actualization—as a tool for understanding the deep desire for heroes who help meet our needs and remind us we’re not alone. In addition, he shows how the want for self-actualization includes a need for spiritual self-actualization, which helps us understand how the spiritual realm transcends the physical realm yet permeates and operate within it. During the coronavirus pandemic, a time when many are experiencing pain, distress, and hardship, causing them to feel hopeless, Searching for Heroes in Life, Vol. 2 encourages us to believe God is ultimately in control and wants us to know all things, the good and bad, work together for the good of those who love him.

Book Description
FROM THE BOOK:"I want to touch you and kiss you.""You are my mother's sister and only one year older; you must have something of my mother in you."—A found child after being returned to her family Searching for Life traces the courageous plight of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a group of women who challenged the ruthless dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Acting as both detectives and human rights advocates in an effort to find and recover their grandchildren, the Grandmothers identified fifty-seven of an estimated 500 children who had been kidnapped or born in detention centers. The Grandmothers' work also led to the creation of the National Genetic Data Bank, the only bank of its kind in the world, and to Article 8 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the "right to identity," that is now incorporated in the new adoption legislation in Argentina. Rita Arditti has conducted extensive interviews with twenty Grandmothers and twenty-five others connected with their work; her book is a testament to the courage, persistence, and strength of these "traditional" older women. The importance of the Grandmothers' work has effectively transcended the Argentine situation. Their tenacious pursuit of justice defies the culture of impunity and the historical amnesia that pervades Argentina and much of the rest of the world today. In addition to reconciling the "living disappeared" with their families of origin, these Grandmothers restored a chapter of history that, too, had been abducted and concealed from its rightful heirs.

Book Description
In 1990, I became a Special Features writer and photographer for the Coronado Eagle & Journal newspaper in San Diego. I wrote articles about local heroes who were making a positive difference in our local community. In 1991, I created the In Search Of Heroes program to encourage high school journalism students to ask local individuals a series of questions about heroes and heroism. The goal was to inspire young people to research the concept of heroism, so they could write educational articles to inspire other students and the community. We worked with the Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Coronado CableVision and the high school principal and journalism and multi-media teachers. We even went in search of heroes at the San Diego Comic Con.In 2002, I created the In Search of Heroes website to publish articles and videos about my research on heroism and heroes. I started going to Internet marketing seminars to interview entrepreneurs that acted heroically at these amazing events.After 40 years of trying to be a hero to others, I realized the best way to honor the HEROES in my life was to write exciting, emotionally engaging stories about how they impacted my own personal hero's journey. To honor the HEROES in your life, why not write stories about the people who made a big difference in yours. Share how they inspired you to be a better person, helped you overcome a difficult problem or encouraged you to accept the responsibility for your own decisions. Your stories will give them the recognition they deserve and inspire future generations.To help you understand the different parts of your own hero's journey, I compiled the most useful information available from the HEROES Journey thought leaders. I created simplified outlines from their books: Joseph Campbell, The Hero With A Thousand Faces, Christopher Vogler, The Writers Journey, Maureen Murdock, The Heroine's Journey and Carol Pearson, Awakening The Heroes Within.After reading these books twice and studying them in-depth, I chose Carol Pearson's book, Awakening The Heroes Within as the foundation for my In Search Of HEROES coaching program. It provides a simple, comprehensive system that makes it easy for you to understand your own hero's journey.Heroism is easier to comprehend when you analyze your life in light of the 12 roles everyone has the opportunity to experience: Innocent, Orphan, Warrior, Caregiver, Seeker, Lover, Destroyer, Creator, Ruler, Magician, Sage and Fool. You can easily identify the roles you have already experienced; the next one you want to complete and the roles of the people who have impacted your life in positive and negative ways.The search for HEROES makes sense when you look at your life from the perspective of your own hero's journey. You will discover there are many unexpected HEROES and mentors. They helped you break free from the situations and thought processes that blocked your growth as a person. Their interaction with you, allowed you to become the person you were created to be, so you could complete your unique mission here on earth. By writing stories about them and their impact on your life journey, you pass on to future generations the wisdom you have gained through the trials, tribulations and joys of your life. This book is based on the transcript of the interview of Ralph Zuranski by Sharif Khan, the author of the book the Hero's Soul. The conversational format allows you the opportunity to experience the truth of the moment. When people speak about their life in response to probing questions, you know their answers come directly from their heart.The easiest way to share the stories of the HEROES in your life is to use the simplified HEROES journey story outline. All the great authors and screenwriters throughout history have followed the same pattern. Here are the ten basic parts of the HEROES journey.
