Want to be a hero?
Many people don't know where to start on their quest to be a hero. They watch the Batman and gain inspiration but don't know where to go from there. How can you save the world without knowing 127 forms of martial arts?
The truth is you don't need to dodge bullets or drive a batmobile to be a hero. WISDOM FROM THE BATCAVE analyzes the life philosophy that emerges from Batman comic books and shows how anyone can live a heroic life by following Batman's philosophy.
In 18 lighthearted chapters (such as "How to Triumph over Adversity," "The Value of Inspiring Others," "A Better Definition of Victory"), the Batman's example is used to teach profound truths. Focusing on relationships with self, others, and the larger community, WISDOM FROM THE BATCAVE uses the experience of the Batman and his allies to illustrate how to live a super, heroic life.
Here is your invitation to enter the Batcave and learn from the personal example of the Batman himself. You will learn:
•How to live like a hero
•How to Triumph over Adversity
•How to recognize and actualize your potential
• What it means to be victorious
• Inspire others
•Gain self-esteem, idealism, and strong principles
• The value of anticipating consequences
•The most effective ways to fight evil
Brilliant, guiding light -- from the Dark Knight!
