ABSTRACT
The adventures take place on at least four great seas: love, careers, religion, and friendship/community making. Psychologists frequently discuss life’s greatest adventures. Despite all the advice sought and received, voyagers must chart their own course, learn from their own meandering, and then frequently redirect their adventures. As in all great adventures, there must be dragons. Like Odysseus’s adventures, ours are filled with monsters, temptations, and twists of fate that can disrupt, sidetrack, and even end our voyages. By knowing their mission in life and by following the passion for their inner spirit, those who make an adventure of life sidestep the dangers of The Rush. The poor particularly fall victim to the Sheriffs of the Rush, not by choice but by fate. Sufficient money rarely finds its way from the rich coffers of The Rush to the hands of the poor.
