No More Hereos: A look at the impact heroes have on our culture today and the role of Psychological Contracting in the hero / devotee (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798885903561)

Heroes uplift others by inspiring, offering hope, and reminding about the good in the world (although they occasionally disappoint). This book explores the phenomena that can occur when heroes disappoint in the development of a young person and the impact it can have on their social maturity.

When expectations are not met, pain ensues, and we often place blame on the something or someone who did not live up to our expectations-even if our expectations were unreasonable. Expectations based on human assumptions can cause trouble.
