About the Book

"Just what the doctor ordered - a book that brings the mythical power of the heroic journey into the daily lives of teens" - Sam Keen, author of Fire in the Belly. Breaking Open the Stone is a revolutionary proposal designed to reengage the passion for living and learning in our youth. This book maps out a curriculum that becomes an intense self exploration of human being that embarks on a heroic journey of initiation to adulthood. It is a rite of passage for young adults and teens that brings about a more meaningful and purposeful life. The pathway presented in this book addresses the issues of violence in our schools including bullying, and the issues of isolation and anger that lead the grievance collector to be attracted to violence. By exploring the personal life story as a microcosm of the story of the universe, teens become en-souled and impassioned. This book provides a process called 'The Seven Challenges of Passionate Engagement' (SCOPE). Teens experience this journey through metaphor and story as they unfold and illuminate the path to personal growth and fulfillment of life purpose. During the process the stone of the soul is broken open to unlock the potential that only the soul knows. Teens may use this book with an accompanying journal to deepen their self reflection as they navigate each challenge along the journey. Parents will find a book that unlocks youth passion for living and learning. All that our teens and young adults have ever really wanted from us as elders is the permission to be real. They are hungry for passion, meaning and purpose, and most of all, for the dignity that comes with a deeper test of self mastery that measures something more meaningful than academic skills.
