Story
Joseph Campbell famously compared mythology to a kangaroo pouch for the human mind and spirit: “a womb with a view.” In Myths to Live By, he examines all of the ways in which myth supports and guides us, giving our lives meaning. Love and war, science and religion, East and West, inner space and outer space - Campbell shows how the myths we live by can reconcile all of these pairs of opposites and bring a sense of the whole.

Story
Joseph Campbell brought mythology to a mass audience. His bestselling books, including The Power of Myth and The Hero with a Thousand Faces, are the rare blockbusters that are also scholarly classics. While Campbell’s work reached wide and deep, he never wrote a book on goddesses in world mythology. He did, however, have much to say on the subject. Between 1972 and 1986 he gave over twenty lectures and workshops on goddesses, exploring the figures, functions, symbols, and themes of the feminine divine, following them through their transformations across cultures and epochs. Editor Safron Rossi collects these lectures for the first time.

Joseph Campbell famously defined myth as “other people’s religion.” But he also said that one of the basic functions of myth is to help each individual through the journey of life, providing a sort of travel guide or map to reach fulfillment - or, as he called it, bliss. For Campbell, many of the world’s most powerful myths support the individual’s heroic path toward bliss. In Pathways to Bliss, Campbell examines this personal, psychological side of myth.

In this contribution to the emerging men's movement, Robert Moore, a Jungian psychoanalyst and Douglas Gillette, a mythologist, examine the inner King - one of the four archetypes on the male psyche. The inner King integrates power and nurturing, firmness and caring, courage and creativity, self-affirmation and self-sacrifice. From his central position between the world of imagination and the world of action, the King within challenges every man to take up his own scepter, to dream and to make them come true.

Beloved mythologist Joseph Campbell explores the Space Age. He posits that the newly discovered laws of outer space are actually within us as well, and that a new mythology is implicit in that realization. But what is this new mythology? How can we recognize it? Campbell explores these questions in the concluding essay, “The Way of Art”, in which he demonstrates that metaphor is the language of art and argues that within the psyches of today’s artists are the seeds of tomorrow’s mythologies.

Creative work doesn't come with a guarantee. But there is a pattern to who succeeds and who doesn't. And engaging in the consistent practice of its pursuit is the best way forward. Based on the breakthrough Akimbo workshop pioneered by legendary author Seth Godin, The Practice will help you get unstuck and find the courage to make and share creative work. Godin insists that writer's block is a myth, that consistency is far more important than authenticity, and that experiencing the imposter syndrome is a sign that you're a well-adjusted human.

Wisdom that’s timeless!

Publisher's Summary
Joseph Campbell, arguably the greatest mythologist of the twentieth century, was certainly one of our greatest storytellers. This masterfully crafted book interweaves conversations between Campbell and some of the people he inspired, including poet Robert Bly, anthropologist Angeles Arrien, filmmaker David Kennard, Doors drummer John Densmore, psychiatric pioneer Stanislov Grof, Nobel laureate Roger Guillemen, and others. Campbell reflects on subjects ranging from the origins and functions of myth, the role of the artist, and the need for ritual to the ordeals of love and romance. With poetry and humor, Campbell recounts his own quest and conveys the excitement of his lifelong exploration of our mythic traditions, what he called “the one great story of mankind.”

This is a book about Joseph Campbell not by him.
The title and artwork are misleading and made me think this was the audio book authored and narrated by Jospeh Cambell. It is not.

Lives Up to its Title!
I’ll keep this shorter than an epic but longer than a sonnet. What a delightful, smile-seeding, encouraging, well conceived and performed tribute to one of the most remarkable teachers of the 20th century! The book overflows with insight and a truth-seeker‘s sense of adventure, narrating passionately Joseph Campbell’s wide-ranging and deeply influential life and work. The interweaving of Campbell’s biography with the threads of influence and fruits of labor that Were brought forth in those corresponding years could not have been better done. You’ll find yourself amazed, amused, humbled, and deeply inspired to pick up your favorite book, put on your favorite boots, and bring some stories to the light of day and the blaze of the campfire. Have a great listen, Friend!

Narrator has a repetitive, mechanistic cadence with predictable inflections at inconsequential moments. One star. Couldn’t get through 3 chapters. :-( If you can get past that maybe worth your while? Idk.

Dense book- but lots of 'ah hah' moments
I struggled to get into the book at first...I found it hard to follow the narration and I thought he didn't really do a great job putting emotion or passion into the bulk of the book. But the narrator for Joseph Campbell dialougue was great and full of heart! This was a very dense listen... but it came with many "ah hah" moments. Good luck!
