Joseph Campbell was an influential American author and professor of literature who focused on comparative religion and mythology. In his seminal work, The Hero with a Thousand Faces (1949), Campbell discussed the journey of an archetypal hero ('the hero's journey'), alluded to in mythologies around the world. He is also the originator of the famous phrase "Follow your bliss!" In this episode, Sarah and Rishi break down the hero's journey, discuss the value of myths in modern life, and why old myths need to be updated. In a world that struggles to understand the intangible and what emanates from our subconcious, the value of Joseph's work cannot be underestimated. Enjoy!
