The Superhero Condition

In a world of crushing reality where are the people we can rely on? Oh Superman, where are you now? The kinds of people we want to rely on live only in comic books and on the screens. What we would give for them to rush into our world. What we would give for someone else to save the day.

No matter how loud we shout for a hero none will come. The great and the strong men and women who fly around do not exist. Where, instead, must we look to? What must we pin our hopes to? When things fall apart around us or when we are knocked back by life, what is there to pick us up and to help us fight our battles against what hurts us?

Tony de Lacey, in this book, has found the answer to the question; 'who will help us?' The answer is that the hero is in everyone. Every person, including you, has the potential to be hero in the real world. Tony explains how this is the case and, more importantly, explains how you can become your own hero not just for yourself when things go wrong but for other people. Step by step, this book will explain the fundamental principles of becoming a superhero in the real world. You don't need to be able to fly. You don't need to have super strength. All you need is a willingness to be better than you thought you could be. This book explains what it means to live with 'The Superhero Condition'.
