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.”

loved the experience of hearing JC's works, and wisdom. So special. Feel privileged to have been welcomed to his world.... which is all of our worlds

phenomenal gift, something to re read frequently

Joseph Campbell journey of thought in linking mythology, as its genuine role to offer a coherence to life, our role, our growth, our spirit is marvellous. Rarely does one wake to ideas gifted to us which pierce every notion of ourselves, and call us in comfort to our spirited selves. This feeling of emotional and intellectual shape shifting is the gift of Joseph Campbell works. Highly recommend listening, reading, and rereading this gift.

Won’t get these lost hours back.

The legend of myth of Campbell is greater than the man. I like his metamyth idea but the man himself is boring, arrogant, racist and sexist. I will give this book which is a strange ego projection festival a pass.

Hard line to follow

I find it incomprehensible when Joseph is asked unrelated questions to his work. Never the less I found this book nutritious for lack of a better word. There is something special going on here and It was not intellectually pressing in the slightest, more like listening to a good radio program from the old days. A good intro to Joseph Campbell and my full gratitude to all.
