The Trophy is Not the Treasure. Discover Why Your Greatest Successes Still Leave You Feeling Empty.

In the boardroom and the arena, we are taught that winning is everything. But for many high-achievers, the "win" is followed by a haunting silence—an existential dissatisfaction that hints that something is missing.

When Winning Isn't Enough explores the Hero Archetype not as a badge of strength, but as a map for the most treacherous terrain of all: the human psyche. Compiled by Sara San Angelo, this study in depth psychology reveals that the hero’s true feat is not the conquest of others, but the triumph of consciousness over the unconscious.

Inside this guide to psychological wholeness, you will discover:

• The Anatomy of the Hero: Understand the universal pattern of separation, initiation, and return that encodes your own development.

• The Shadow Side of Success: Identify how the healthy Hero/Warrior energy degrades into the Tyrant, the Martyr, or the Compulsive Rescuer.

• Ancient Myths as Modern Blueprints: From the labors of Hercules to the cunning of Odysseus and the first individuation epic of Gilgamesh, learn how ancient trials mirror your modern struggles.

• The Eastern Path: Explore the moral paralysis of Arjuna and the ego-tempering journey of Sun Wukong (The Monkey King).

• The Mature Hero: Learn to transition from the aggressive "conquest" of your youth to the "Wounded Healer" and "Wise Mentor" phases of mid-life and beyond.

Whether you are an entrepreneur facing the "dragons of the marketplace" or a professional struggling with the vulnerability required for deep intimacy, this book provides the tools to move from ego-inflation to authentic Self-realization.

Stop fighting the wrong battles. Start the journey to wholeness.
