Description

In Pathways to Bliss, Joseph Campbell once again draws on his masterful gift of storytelling to apply the larger themes of world mythology to personal growth and transformation. Looking at the more personal, psychological side of myth, he begins to dwell on life's more important questions - those that are often submerged beneath the frantic activity of our daily life.

Reviews

No one in our century not Freud, not Thomas Mann, not Lvi-Strauss has so brought the mythical sense of the world and its eternal figures back into our everyday consciousness.
James Hillman

Campbell has become the rarest of intellectuals in American life: a serious thinker who has been embraced by the popular culture.
Newsweek

In our generation the mythographer who has had the fullest command of the huge scholarly literature, the analytic ability, the lucid prose, and the needed staying power has been Joseph Campbell.
