#2144 The Power of Myth

Myths aren’t old stories—they’re maps for living.

Today’s book: The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell (with Bill Moyers)—a timeless exploration of how ancient myths offer profound wisdom for living a rich, meaningful life today.

Here’s your 1-minute summary:

  • Myths are mirrors of the soul. They reflect universal human experiences—love, struggle, transformation, and triumph.
  • Follow your bliss. Your deepest joy points the way to your true path—trust it, even if it’s difficult or unconventional.
  • The Hero’s Journey is everyone’s story. Leaving comfort, facing trials, and returning transformed is the arc of all great lives.
  • Rituals and symbols matter. They anchor us to meaning, helping us navigate life’s mysteries and transitions.
  • The adventure of life is inward. True fulfillment isn’t found by conquering the world, but by mastering yourself.

You are already the hero of your own myth. What part of your journey will you embrace more fully today?
