| 1. 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

By: Joseph Campbell

I find it funny how many people discredit this book considering I mean we all have they same brain and the perceptions that come from our brain, whether we have studied something or not or whether we were influenced or not science explains to use that we will recreate a similar story to fit our understanding of life on earth. We all think the same, we all have the same method of understanding things... more

| 3. Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation | 
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: New World Library
October 26, 2004
I have to give this one five stars because it's Joseph Campbell and then take one away because it's Joseph Campbell. That is, there are a few instances of what might be penetrating insights. There is ringing and memorable language. There are sweeping generalizations. There are gaping errors of fact and theory. The last mostly in the areas of anthropology and history. In general I feel a fool for buying... more

| 5. The Masks of God, Vol. 3: Occidental Mythology |
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics)
November 01, 1991
Many other excellent longer reviews have been written for this book, so I'll just keep mine (relatively) short. I bought and read this volume first, and it inspired me to order the other three volumes of "The Masks of God". Although I'm not a specialist in comparative religion, I found this volume an excellent introduction: covering the entire history of religion west of and including Persia, but... more

| 6. Myths to Live by (Condor Books) |
|
By: Joseph Campbell
Publisher: Souvenir Press Ltd
February 09, 1995
I love the work of Joseph Campbell. I find this book and the "The Power of Myth" as his most accessible works. "Myths to Live By" flows in a conversational manner, free from the pedantic language of academia that dilutes much of Campbell's other works. This book is easy to digest and unfolds much like a exciting journey... more

| 7. 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

|
By: Michael Toms
Publisher: Hay House
April 15, 2005
A man ahead of his time. I wish the world would spend more time looking at all the things we share in some form or another instead of what makes us different. With access to the internet these days we can study what he spent a lifetime traveling around the world to discover in a click of a button. The problem is no one thinks to. All his work including this audio makes you think... Thats step one... more
