Anchor Books The Power of Myth

a must read but you can also find the interview on Youtube.its an edited long interview with questions and answers so easy to read.

I absolutely adore joseph campbell. he's been a teacher for me with his books, but this interview takes you to heaven and leaves you in awe.

A marvellous and highly sophisticated trip through the world of mythodology encompassing a wide range of topics - presented in the format of an extended interview that gives the whole story a little more juice than it would have received without the nonchalant chat between two elderly "silverbacks" who star the dissussion of archetypical motivs that make up good stories to the present day. Campbell excells in giving us a kaleidoscopic insight into evergreens of narration that people love to hear about for ages - ranging from the expatriation of adam & eve from paradise to the more contemporary adventures of luke sykywalker. A history of mythodology that evolves in the course of a sometimes very personal and at other times sober and academical but always well balanced and here and there also ironic and humorous disscussion. It my be stated that the book has a - it my be justified to sa so - enlighting quality to it in that it discusses and reflects with profound knwowledge and wisdom the everlasting quest of people of all ages, cultures and ethnics for sense and guidance in their being - and Campbell knows the stories to tell the stories of the quest. It is truly a good read.

Campbell emphasizes the importance of cultivating individuals intrinsic potential in this book. His famous saying, "Follow your bliss" represents the core message he wanted to deliver to all the people in this world. At the same time, he talks about the role of society. This book is truly necessary for all of us who are in this time when the idea of private and the idea of public are not clearly separated but many people are working to show their private in public whereas others are bringing their public face in private. This confuses so much for especially young generation who are about to enter the society. I think reading this book will help you to find the purpose of your life and also to start thinking about who you really are. A wonderful classic book! Highly recommended!
