| 1. Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation | 
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
October 26, 2004
This is a very hard book to read however it was very interesting. I've known for years that many ancient stories and biblical stories all go to one beginning point. Campbell takes you to the point of first contact. Most religion dogma believers could not handle the truth as it is not profitable (pardon the word reference). All Campbell books seem to do this and should be read as a college level historical... more

| 2. The Power of Myth | 
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: Anchor
June 01, 1991
Joseph Campbell rocks. I just finished reading The Power of Myth, an interview he did with Bill Moyers back in 1985 and all I can say is, "Wow."
When discussing Joseph Campbell, one would be remiss to not include one, if not several of his quotes. The most popular by far is the follow your bliss quote:
If you follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been... more

| 3. Reflections on the Art of Living: A Joseph Campbell Companion |
|
From: Harper Perennial
Publisher: Harper Perennial
May 12, 1995
This is a very good book because it makes one think. I am still reading it and will probably read it many times over. I love to read something that makes me pull out a journal and copy things from the book. This little book will probably be one I keep close by and refer to time and again. I'm a big fan of Joseph Campbell and find so much wisdom in his words... more

| 5. The Inner Reaches of Outer Space: Metaphor as Myth and as Religion |
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
February 09, 2002
Campbell draws comparisons between the interweaving dark and light lateral nerves along the spine of the yogic cakras to the caduceus, the crucifixion of Christ, Sumero-Akkadian serpent-god,Ningishzida and twined serpent images in Aztec and Navaho culture as well as others. The common theme is of duality twining around a central spine, support or path. One of those twines or sides is inner and the... more

| 6. The Mythic Dimension: Selected Essays 1959-1987 (Collected Works of Joseph Campbell) |
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
October 28, 2007
I co-edited this book with Anthony Van Couvering, although my name does not appear on the title, only in the Acknowledgements. The Acknowledgements state that I "composed the initial versions of many of the footnotes," but in fact, every footnote in the book that is not Campbell's was written by me (these all appear in block parentheses as such: [For a discussion of this, see that. ] ). If the reader... more

| 7. Sermons by the Late Joseph Campbell, D.d., of the Synod of New Jersey; With a Memoir by the Rev. John Gray, A.m., of Easton, Pa | 
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: General Books LLC
January 12, 2010
I find it very tricky to announce sermons by a Joseph Campell, who evidently is not the great mythologist Campbell, of whom the clients amazon sends this recommendation to have bought wonderful books. It's true, the name is the same and if you pay attention you can read a date of the 19th century, but why try to mislead in the first place? Was it possibly the work of the automatic machine in this automatic... more

| 8. Myths of Light: Eastern Metaphors of the Eternal (Collected Work of Joseph Campbell Series) |
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
2003-05
Since Bulfinch, Campbell has long been the storyteller of myth and culture, sharing insights on themes of origin and eternity. Myths of Light draws from Campbell's unpublished lectures, edited to a flowing narrative that introduces Eastern thought to a Western audience. With books like this, I don't expect to have complete understanding, nor recall of everything Campbell shares. I read in bite-size... more

| 9. The Hero with a Thousand Faces (Bollingen Series) |
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
July 28, 2008
In The Hero With a Thousand Faces, Joseph Campbell seeks to use the concept of Jungian archetypes to explore the mythology of world culture. He proposes a structure for the universal hero myth-- the monomyth-- which he sees as holding true for the hero myth in every culture at every time period. And by and large he's correct-- his idea is extremely compelling. He puts forth this idea within the... more

Michael Toms' conversation with Joseph Campbell holds up well and provides a wide-ranging exploration of Campbell's evolving views on spirituality and development. Campbell was truly a remarkable and extraordinary human being who followed his bliss all his life and was willing to share his insights.
This title is a classic for anyone who has any interest in Joseph Campbell's work... more
