The Power of Myth is one of my favorite books. Joseph Campbell was a true maverick, and he daringly explored the inner workings of the human psyche with a sense of fearlessness in this book.
I highly recommend Joseph Campbell's books to anyone who loves reading about mythology. He's an extremely intelligent man.

The Power of Myth is an excellent discussion of life verses mythology, how they connect and how many stories featuring the hero or heroine follow the ancient mythology stories and history of life. The most memorable discussion is the comparing of Star Wars with ancient mythology. Just the thought ...
Still a favorite to pull out and just read parts. It feel as if you gain so much from a small book a better grip on the stories that some of us call friends.
