The Power of Myth

Book • 1988
This book is derived from a series of television interviews between Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers, aired in 1988.

It delves into the universal themes and functions of myths across various cultures, highlighting their role in uniting communities, explaining social, cosmological, and spiritual realities, and guiding individuals through life's significant stages.

Campbell discusses how myths help people understand common human experiences such as love, death, and the search for meaning.

He also addresses the modern world's disconnection from mythological narratives and the consequences this has on individual and societal well-being.

The book emphasizes the importance of myths in providing a framework for life, fostering community identity, and helping individuals navigate life's transitions and challenges.
