Renowned Mythologist Joseph Campbell's beloved quote "follow your bliss" has guided generations of students and readers to heed their inner calling in pursuit of a life fully lived. Rooted in Campbell's exploration of mythology, philosophy, and personal experience, and compiling passages from across his works, this volume reveals bliss not as fleeting pleasure, but as a profound, guiding energy that connects us to our true selves and the mysteries of the universe.
About the Author
About the Author
Joseph Campbell (1904-1987) was a renowned American author and scholar of comparative mythology. His groundbreaking work The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949) introduced the concept of the "hero's journey," a universal pattern found in myths across cultures. Campbell's theories were influenced by his studies in Europe, the work of Picasso and Joyce, Freud's and Jung's theories about the human psyche, his lifelong interest in Native American cultures, and his translation with Swami Nikhilananda of the Upanishads and The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna. In 1988, the PBS series The Power of Myth brought his ideas to a global audience, solidifying his legacy in the study of mythology.
