Commentary Appertaining To Books A Joseph Campbell Companion: Reflections on the Art of Living

In 1984, Joseph Campbell and ten students gathered for thirty days in Big Sur, California at the Esalen Institute to immerse themselves in an intensive exploration of the "mythological dimension". Poet Diane Osbon was one of those students, and as a result of that experience she was inspired to write this book. It's a collection of quotations, excerpts, and her own musings, rather loosely strung together in a stream-of-consciousness manner; more of a diary of random thoughts than a narrative or

A selection of 2 to 3 page excerpts from Joseph Campbell's lectures. Super good. He has a way of looking at tired old worn out concepts in fresh ways that really suck me in. This is a pretty good intro to Joe Campbell. If you take myths and religions as the symbols and psychological archetypes that they are, you can transcend them. If you take them literally, there you will stay as a slave to the rules."Ideals are dangerous. Don't take them seriously. You can get by on a few."

This is a fantastic view of Joseph Campbell in how he integrated his experience in mythology with building his own personal life. It's more than an autobiography and more than a self-help book, it's his journey and there are lessons that can be found by reading it. Finding a way to put aside the "Thou Shalt"'s is something I can use in my own life; especially in today's world where it can seem that one aspect of life takes over every other element. This is a book I will read again and again.

As a fan of Joseph Campbell's writings I was excited to see a book titled "A Joseph Campbell Companion", especially prefixed by the words "Reflections on the Art of Living". It sounded like something right up my alley. How could you possibly go wrong with a title like that? The short answer is that this book is not organized in a helpful way. I was expecting something akin to Anne Charter's "Portable Beat Reader" where each section is well organized and documented and each entry is titled and

Loved this book. Aligns to my personal philosophy and way of being. If you're a fan of Campbell, pick this up;-)

Well, hello, Joseph Campbell. Where have you been all my life? I should have started with this book rather than The Hero with a Thousand Faces because although I am enjoying reading it, Hero is a straight-up, bourbon on the rocks, serious, grown up mental exercise in reading and this is more like the kegger version of JC which, sadly, is where I need to start right now. The book is comprised of short, 1-3 page distillations of Campbell's other works. Every. single. time I picked this up, I felt

My Bible. A collection of the insight and wisdom of Joseph Campbell edited by a poet. What could be better?!
