Simulating and thought provoking

Years ago I learned of Joseph Campbell and decided too collect his boss so I could read them and better understand what he had to say. Now decades have passes and this program inspires me and simulates me to follow that old ambition.. it will be interesting to see if he speaks to the contemporary world the way he spoke to that earlier time.

This is great even if you don't know Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell has mastered the myths and consequentially mastered life. What a joy to listen to him speak and share a bit of his wisdom.

Comprehensive

This collection of interviews is more comprehensive of Campbell’s thoughts than is Power of Myth. Both are excellent though. Can’t go wrong reading/listening to Campbell.

Absolutely wonderful

It is always a joy to hear the awe-some insights of Joseph Campbell from his own voice. No matter how many times one listens to Campbell's interviews and lectures, new insights and wisdoms are found each time.

What wisdom!!!

I didn't know what to expect since this is a collection of 'radio' programs and speeches... but WOW what a powerful mind and spirit expanding experience.

We are hearing more of Joseph's message and ideas now through other spiritual leaders yet his is so genuine and humble. The fact that these took place in the late 70's and 80's gets me asking... where was I then? I only wish I could have experienced this man's spirit and message while he was alive.

I enjoyed every minute of this collection and HIGHLY RECOMMEND it.

Power of Myth on Talk Radio

Digital Manna. Best thing I've ever put on my smartphone. Sacred. The format is talk radio. Great for your daily commute until you quit your job and "follow your bliss".
