Welcome to Litsy!

Heroes. For most of human history, the hero has been held up as a role model-a symbol of something better that young men and women could aspire to. Somewhere over the course of the last century, it became unfashionable to be a hero-to be better than the rest. Shameless, perfect heroes were abandoned in favor of gritty, flawed antiheroes. Forging your own path is now considered less important than assimilating with the crowd. The results have not been encouraging. We still need heroes, just as we always have. More than ever, we need those who are willing to do what needs to be done and stand up for what's right. For those bold enough to strive for the heroic life, entrepreneur and best-selling author Alan Knott-Craig offers the wisdom and advice of heroes past and present. Heroes do still exist, because heroism doesn't concern itself with popular thought or social trends. Heroism is about sacrifice, courage, humility, and a willingness to make the world a better place. It's not an easy road-but it's a rewarding one for those brave enough to overcome adversity and strive for more than merely existing.
