Joseph Campbell
Follow your bliss! With this as the core principle of his life’s work,
The Hero with a Thousand Faces. ISBN: 0691017840
This is Campbell’s most important work in which he ingeniously weaves together insights from modern psychology and ancient mythology to provide modern people with guidelines for living a full life by following bliss on the personal hero’s journey. First published in 1949, this book became a best seller in 1988 (eventually selling over a million copies) when it served as the subject for the “Power of Myth” PBS television series. George Lucas was inspired by it in creating his Star Wars movies.

Myths To Live By. ISBN: 0140194614
In this collection of twelve essays and lectures from 1961 to 1971, Campbell explores the world’s great religions from the perspective of myth rather than the traditional interpretations. Campbell describes our time as a “new age” in which “we are…participating in one of the very greatest leaps of the human spirit to a knowledge not only of outside nature but also of our own deep inward mystery.”
