In the long run, one of the most influential books of the 20th century may turn out to be Joseph Campbell’s THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES. Joseph Campbell - A Scholar's Life. For Joseph Campbell, the study of myth was the exploration of the possibilities of consciousness.
His lifetime of scholarship was nothing less than the search for the Holy Grail of radiant living. The dialog between Joseph Campbell and Bill Moyers that became The Power of Myth was an event that changed many lives. It is more than a presentation of fascinating stories from all over the world. It is a vision of a rich inner life available to anyone willing to go on the initiatory adventures. Joseph Campbell was born in 1904 in a suburb of New York City.
