## Description

Review: A work of pure genius! - The key to understanding this classic book, and getting the most from it, is to realise that it's actually all about YOU. Campbell wrote it for YOU. Just think about the title for a start. YOU are the hero and your hero's journey is all about finding your inner life, your divine spark, and being engulfed and re-born out of it. This is what all the world's great hero myths were really talking about, symbolically, and Campbell brilliantly draws together the universal themes and parallels running through all the world's mystical and religious traditions, all of which were concerned (when understood metaphorically instead of literally) with this marvellous "death and resurrection" of the human psyche - from human animal to divine incarnation. It's a heroic deed which we all have the potential to achieve, and this book vibrantly and beautifully recollects many anicent stories that have drawn Mankind's imagination toward this very real transformation, through the use of the oldest and best means at our disposal - symbolic storytelling. This book is not just for the student or teacher of mythology or comparative religion, it's for everyone on the spiritual path. In fact, this book speaks directly to you wherever you are right now in life, whether on that path or not. Simply brilliant, and possibly the most important book of the 20th century. Even the full five star rating is not enough!
Review: Not just the Hero's but Everyman's (and woman's) journey - This is a classic for writers and storytellers and I'm ashamed to say I've only just read it at the age of 56. However, like many profound books, it's a book that means much more when one's ready for it. I'm not sure if I'd read it younger, or at a calm period in my life, that it would have had such an impact, although it's wonderfully researched and beautifully written and would be illuminating on a purely academic level. I read it after going through one of those periods where life throws up one thing after another until it seems more than just coincidence - like some sort of extreme test of one's strength. It helped me to assimilate the experience - recognising the hero's journey in my own, with its entry into dark places, its ordeals, and the eventual emergence with invisible treasure. Looking for the treasure helped me to make meaning from what I had experienced and focus on the positive instead of the negative. Since then I have looked up the myths and started reading some of the books he uses as sources, which is also proving fascinating. It's a book I will read again and again because I know I will find deeper meanings in it with each reading, and it has also given me an insight into the themes of my own life and writing, and sources for stories to tell.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simply amazing
*by B***N on 21 July 2021*

Just started getting into the Joseph Campbell collection, and this is the 2nd book I've read after The Power of Myth, which is a book where he's referencing his collective works. So I guess this is the first proper, in and of itself, book I've read from Campbell and I'm just blown away by such an extraordinary mind. Not just in the sense of the book itself, but his ability to release the extraordinary power of reflective thought within myself and, ultimately, the power within myself to become extraordinary. Myth seems to be a powerful agent, specifically if one is lacking faith. In themselves and in the world. And Campbell unravels the absolute necessity of Myth in the modern world, using supreme historical examples which highlight his points and overall message beautifully. This is one of those books you'd urge anyone to read at least once in their lifetime.
