The Hero’s Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work Audiobook (Free)

Joseph Campbell, arguably the best mythologist of the twentieth century, was certainly one of our very best storytellers. This masterfully crafted publication interweaves discussions between Campbell and some from the people he influenced, including poet Robert Bly, anthropologist Angeles Arrien, filmmaker David Kennard, Doorways drummer John Densmore, psychiatric pioneer Stanislov Grof, Nobel laureate Roger Guillemen, as well as others. Campbell shows on subjects which range from the roots and functions of myth, the role of the designer, and the need for ritual towards the ordeals of love and romance. With poetry and humor, Campbell recounts his very own goal and conveys the pleasure of his lifelong exploration of our mythic traditions, what he known as “the one great story of mankind.”
