A pervasive myth argues that stories are about conflict. It is true that the basis of human interaction is status based - every action, movement and inflexion implies status / status transactions and on that level there is conflict. Also, there is inherent resistance to change and again, here conflict is implicit.
But we don't think that the writer's best interests are served by focusing on conflict. We think your interest is best served by focusing on Transformation. A story IS Transformation. And the process of that transformation, at the root level, is the Hero's Journey.
Look at some of the best examples:
In The Godfather (1972), Michael transforms from not wanting anything to do with his Father and the Family to running it; from the innocent war veteran to the dark suited angel of death.
In Annie Hall (1977), Annie transforms from dependent in New York to independent in Los Angeles.
