One of the basic functions of myth, he contends, is to help each individual through the journey of life, providing a travel guide to reach fulfillment &#8212; a map to discover "bliss." In <i>Pathways to Bliss</i>, 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 &#8212; those that are often submerged beneath the frantic activity of our daily life. With characteristic wit and insight, he draws connections between ancient symbols and modern art, schizophrenia and the Hero's Journey, revealing the way myth helps identify one's heroic path.</div> 35445 26 10 2004 Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation total:153|5:76|4:61|3:15|2:1|1:0| 153 671 301 15 4 1 false false Mon May 18 20:06:04 -0700 2009 Fri May 15 20:05:40 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 20:06:04 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 06 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 23 13:30:21 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 17:41:36 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 19 21:30:03 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 02 16:41:09 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Apr 26 11:53:55 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 26 11:58:45 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Mon Sep 29 09:29:14 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 26 01:21:48 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 09:29:14 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Wed Apr 29 14:32:30 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 29 14:34:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Wed Jul 15 09:20:54 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 30 00:00:38 -0700 2009 A life-changing read. This isn't Campbell's magnum opus, but this book puts the purpose of life, religion and the mythic path under glaring illumination. Still, Campbell's wit and gentle prose is enough to "hold the reader's hand" as he leads him down the path to enlightenment.]]> 3 0 false false Wed Nov 18 16:01:27 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 16:02:21 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jul 10 07:28:45 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 10 07:33:10 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Jun 15 05:38:20 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 05:41:54 -0700 2008 I think his stuff is a great tool from something we have been losing touch with for a long time, at an exponentially increasing rate.
