The Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell)

Cualquiera que quiera entender lo importante de la vida debiera leer este libro. Para creadores, para fanáticos del cine y de las artes. Y para cualquier persona o terapeuta que desee entender las claves de la vida y de las distintas crisis vitales. Hoy soy un mejor terapeuta gracias a este hombre extraordinario que fue Joe Campbell. Gracias infinitas.

I am currently reading this outstanding work...Joeseph Campbell is interviewed about the power of Myths, The Archetypes, and Heroic Journeys from all cultures and all times. Piece this together with Dr. Jungs..."Man and his Symbols" ; "Modern Man in Search of a Soul" ; and "Memories, Dreams, and reflections ",and you have powerful guides. Joe Campbell is like an inspired guide or Shaman narrating you as you reflect on the inspirational motifs of History. Dr. Jung said that at least 2/3's of his patients past the age of forty suffered from a sense of meaninglessness."God is not a Myth, Myth is a Revelation of the Divine Nature to Man " Dr. Carl Jung

TOTALLY DELIGHTED! THIS BOOK IS BETTER THAN IN MINT CONDITION, AND AT THE SAME TIME, IS THE LATEST, MOST UPDATED VERSION OF "THE HERO'S JOURNEY" (CAMPBELL). I WILL KEEP MY EYES OPEN FOR FUTURE PURCHASES FROM THIS SELLER.

I’m still reading this book so I hesitate to give it a review.

OMG! Haha. I LOVED this book. It was required reading for a class, but it completely sucked me in. I fell in love a little bit with Joseph Campbell. What an amazing, wonderful man and what a mind! And the intro to archetypes and mythology of humans totally grabbed me. I have ordered more Joseph Campbell books to delve deeper. This book will let you know if his more serious tomes are for you. This book is a series of conversations. Very interesting, highly recommended!

If you ever wonder, Joseph Campbell is the Eintein of storytelling.

This is a brilliant book, it's a collection of interviews which makes you feel like you're sitting in on the discussion. Profound topics are covered and a lot of detailed share about the hero's journey and finding purpose in life. The book also gives you background into the life of this extraordinary man. Who is a great teacher of mine. i urge you to pick up a copy of this book. I love the informal style of the discussion and just the way the content flows. It's not written in the dry academic sense.

Well written but not what I was expecting as I wish i dove more into his work. Great narration regardless.

Why isn’t Joseph Campbell taught in schools? At least I discovered his work and benefited from his teachings later in life.

Till och börja med var detta ett felköp från min sida. Det är möjligt att andra läsare uppskattar boken ofantligt mycket mer än vad jag gjorde.Boken handlar kort om hur Campbell utvecklats till det geni han var. Diskussionerna som utgör merparten av boken omfattar även andra kända människor.Jag hoppades på att den skulle vara mycket mer ingående på sina håll. Just nu läser andra av hans verk och jag upplever att The Hero's Journey var oerhört ledigt skriven i förhållande till dem.Läs boken om du har ett intresse för Campbell; om inte har han skrivit mycket mer givande verk.

The book cover had folds and I had to return and get a refund. I have reordered another one. Hope that turns out fine.

Campbell's approaches and analyzes mythology is really is mind widening. It's an amazing book.

Un classique.
