My name's Lee Malcher.
You probably haven't heard of me. That's because I'm not an influencer on the guru circuit selling manifestation from a yacht. Maybe that's exactly why you should read this.
I don't have a rags-to-riches story. No rock bottom to mountaintop narrative. I'm just someone who spent a decade stumbling through his own transformation and took notes along the way.
What I do have: Enough life mess to fill two books. Two young kids who humble me daily. A consulting job that keeps me grounded in reality. And enough British skepticism to call bullshit on my own bullshit.
The past decade took me down every rabbit hole you can imagine: depth psychology, men's work, plant medicine ceremonies, various contemplative traditions. I'm apprenticing in group facilitation through the Hero's Journey Foundation, where I've been involved for nearly ten years.
The tension between my corporate consulting work and the spiritual facilitation keeps me honest—real transformation has to work in boardrooms as well as on meditation cushions.
These are the books I wished someone had handed me in my twenties—not just to navigate the dark depths, but to find what was authentically mine on the other side: a values and purpose-driven life.

This isn't another book promising to fix you in 30 days. It's an honest map through real transformation by someone who's eaten every self-help book on the shelf and finally learned the difference between consuming wisdom and living it.
Key takeaway: True heroism today isn't about superpowers or glory—it's about courageously facing our inner struggles, embracing vulnerability, and growing through life's storms. By learning to give ourselves some 'LeeWay'—that essential space for shelter, reflection, and support—we can discover our authentic values and build a purpose-driven life that's genuinely ours, not society's script.
Key takeaway: Understanding the hero's journey is one thing—actually living it is another. This practical handbook provides the frameworks, exercises, and tools to move from insight to action. Discover your authentic values, work through what blocks you, and build the daily practices that turn transformation from concept into reality. Because knowing the path and walking it are two very different things.
