Why Ancient Myths Still Matter in Your Modern Life
What if everything you've been taught about success, happiness, and purpose has been backwards? We chase external achievements-promotions, possessions, validation-while the greatest adventure lies within. This isn't new-age wishful thinking. It's the ancient wisdom distilled from thousands of years of human storytelling, captured in Joseph Campbell's transformative teachings. At 80, during a month-long workshop at Esalen, Campbell shared insights that would reshape how millions understand their lives. His phrase "follow your bliss" became cultural shorthand, but the depth beneath these words reveals something far more radical: that your life, right now, is a mythic journey waiting to be recognized.
