The Road of Trials (Hero’s Journey) is a stage of life where the hero (you) are forced to engage in conflicts to gain power. In the movies, it’s the training montage between “All is lost” and “Apotheosis” (god mode). In real life, it signifies how you transform yourself during hard times. Road of Trials: Transform Yourself During Hard Times speaks about needing hard times in life, what to do when reinventing yourself, suffering in a direction, and why you must engage in conflicts.
