Learnings From 'The Hero With A Thousand Faces' - Joseph Campbell

In this little bonus episode Juan goes over some of his learnings from Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero With A Thousand Faces'. His previous review of the book goes over the general themes of the book so this is more of an exploration into certain ideas and quotes that stood out to him. These include: being conscious of your own emotions while making decisions, getting too stuck in particular details of the story, asking if the ego can put itself to death, not mistaking something for what it really is and the use of beautiful language pieces from Napoleon and other figures from history.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
