The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell

Description

Ever wondered why stories from ages ago still get us hooked? The Power of Myth is like sitting down for a cozy chat with Joseph Campbell, a world-renowned expert on mythology, and Bill Moyers, a journalist who asks intriguing questions that cause the conversation to go to magical places.

In the discussion, Campbell and Moyers wander through topics from the hero’s journey to mystical symbols, the world’s religions, and beyond. Campbell has this knack for breaking down hefty ideas into bits that resonate. It’s like uncovering the secrets to human beliefs, superstitions, and hopes as you listen to delightful storytelling.

I love this book. My copy is written on throughout and bookmarked with post it notes. It sits here on my desk next to me as I write this.
