Into the book
Listening to Campbell's words, you will experience the amazing experience of your consciousness being revived with new life and your imagination rising from the depths.
(?) I have never met anyone who tells a story as well as Campbell.
Only after hearing his story did I begin to understand why the whole world could be a sanctuary (a realm of mythical imagination).
_Interviewer Bill Moyers
---From "Bill Moyers' Preface"
Of the many teachings he opened up to us, the most important is the authenticity of the life he himself lived.
He believed that myths were clues to our deepest spiritual potential, and that they could lead us to a world of joy, fantasy, and even ecstasy, and he loved to draw us into that world.
He who we called in like this seemed like someone who had been to that world.
---From "Bill Moyers' Preface"
The myth itself is a song.
The song of imagination, fueled by the energy of the flesh, is mythology.
---「1.
From “Myth and the Modern World”
The mind is a feast of life.
It is not something that goes into life, but something that comes out of life.
Religions that worship the Mother Goddess at least see this clearly.
In religions that worship the Mother Goddess, the world is the body of the Goddess and the Goddess herself.
The divinity of this goddess was not a divinity that reigned over fallen nature.
---「4.
From “Sacrifice and Blessing”
Our lives are made up of things that rise up from somewhere without rest.
(…) There is a common force of humanity within our spirit.

Publisher's Review
An intellectual conversation between a leading mythologist and journalist!
If you want to know what a myth is, you should read this
Just one book!
Joseph Campbell's scholarly world unfolds elegantly, clearly clarifying all your questions about mythology! "The Power of Myth" is a book reimagined from an eight-year televised conversation between Joseph Campbell, a world-renowned figure in comparative mythology, and Bill Moyers, a renowned journalist who strives to communicate the scholarly achievements of contemporary scholars to the general public.
By making extensive use of not only Greek and Roman mythology, but also North American Indian mythology, Indian mythology, Buddhist thought, Chinese Taoism, and even popular culture such as the movie [Star Wars] and the Beatles, it discovers the essence of mythology and the wisdom contained within it, thereby providing direction in life to modern people who have lost spiritual values.
This interview was first broadcast on PBS in the United States.
Joseph Campbell, who continued to give clear answers to Bill Moyers's interesting questions, goes through myths spread around the world and explains almost all issues in modern human history, including society, politics, economy, religion, humanity, marriage, and love, within the framework of myths.
As we follow their conversation, Joseph Campbell's inner strength and mature academic world become clearly revealed.
The book's translation by the late Lee Yun-gi, a myth writer and translator, has captured both professionalism and popularity.
This book is useful for both readers who are entering the world of mythology for the first time and those who want to organize Joseph Campbell's academic world.
The Compass of Life Found in Mythology
“We must all be the protagonists of our own lives!”
Myths are mirrors that show us the potential we may not be aware of, but can be unleashed at any time.
To unleash the power, the potential, hidden within us, we must study myths and listen to them.
Because myths preserve insights that can illuminate and explain our culture and life.
“Myth has the power to awaken us to the potential for individual perfection and infinite power, and to reveal that world to the light of day.”
“Our lives are made up of things that rise up from somewhere without rest.
(…) There is a common force of humanity within our spirit.”
If we follow the words of Joseph Campbell, who studied mythology his entire life, we arrive at a message that myth and Campbell give us.
It is about listening to your inner voice and affirming yourself.
A scholar who has studied myths of many countries and various types defines myths as a guide that helps us hear our own voice.
Through Campbell's story, which states that "everyone must be the protagonist of their own life," readers will gain the power of myth and, furthermore, the power to discover their inner selves.
