How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life

How To Be the Hero of Your Own Life - A Unique AutobiographyIt starts before birth, ends after life, and addresses every age in between by Viki KingFor over 40 years Viki King, author of the industry classic guide, How to Write a Movie in 21 Days - The Inner Movie Method (HarperCollins) has been showing people how to tell their stories. Now in How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life, she tells her own powerful story with grace and wit to illuminate for others the deeper meaning of their lives. It’s a story well-told of a life well-lived.You may have noticed lately that the world has gone rogue. We all knew that being alive now was going to be a humdinger for humans. We knew it and that’s what we’re here for, to discover our talents that we came to contribute. What’s your contributing talent? What’s your piece of the puzzle that’s going to help everybody out?Very early on, Viki King knew her plan.What if she wrote the story of her life as she was living it to show the how-to beats of a lifetime, such as: how to let your heart do the talking; how to step into your own spotlight; how to get from surviving to thriving; and much later how to conduct a conscious death. And what if she could encode wisdoms in each stage, phase and, age? The takeaway for the reader would illuminate something for their life they might never have considered before; that would be a big help to us all. So, that’s what she did, she chronicled her whole life from before birth to the coming of age at each age. Through it all, with wit and wisdom, she expands you as you read and changes any part of you that might be a victim into a victor.By telling her life story she gives insights for every age. Writing in first person, present tense every year in the voice of that year means that, for instance, in Chapter Six, What to Do about Big Bully Billy, she is 6 and solves the bully problem as a 6-year-old. Later she chronicles all 15 years it takes her to become an overnight sensation in Hollywood.But it all starts way before that, way before she’s born. She has a lot to say while hanging semi-sideways in the womb. She’s a fetus with a sense of humor (it’s her essential nature you’ll see throughout the book). You might cry at her birth, thinking of the preciousness of your own birth (that’s her essential depth also shown throughout the book.)By the way, birth is a big metaphor for life. How you get born tells a lot about how you are going to handle living. And how you handle living is what each chapter is about.From schoolyard to first car, to last will and testament, each age of every decade is addressed with insight, and wisdom.How to Be the Hero of Your Own Life demonstrates the high art and exacting skill of becoming to utilize the stories of the author’s life to inspire the reader to be the hero of their own life.
