| 1. 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

| 3. The Power of Myth, Programs 1-6 | 
|
By: Joseph Campbell, Bill Moyers November 01, 1992
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

| 4. 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

| 6. The Portable Jung (Portable Library) | 
|
By: Carl G. Jung Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics) December 09, 1976
This is a wonderful/affordable one-stop-shop to get acquainted with Jung's thought. I purchased it in particular for "Answer to Job." It's comforting to know I'm not the only one who's had difficulty with the Biblical writing. This compilation is worth owning for this small portion alone. In reference to "the storm," you're probably aware of the pending publication of Jung's final work "The Red Book."... more

| 7. 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

| 10. 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
