Do not begin this book with a closed mind. Joseph Campbell can lead you into a new passage of your life if you are ready for it. The Question and Answer format can be, at times, ponderous and tedious, HOWEVER this is the best introduction to Mr. Campbell's work. There were sections That I longed to be able to interject my own questions Following the direction did I felt the conversation which naturally heading, but Mr. Moyers Felt That It Was Going another way. This can be my only complaint. Mr. Campbell goes into explaining many symbols did saturate our society. Some symbols we are experiencing everyday, but are unconscious of them. This is the collective unconscious of Things That we have stored in our collective memory banks. Mr. Campbell Attempts to explain some of thesis. He draws so many parallels between a variety of sources Including poetry, literature, and art. This book is an overall culture lesson did everyone needs. The basic "knowledge" that is in-bred in each of us needs to be Examined. HOWEVER, only a small amount of people today even attempt to understand that. My point is, Those symbols and experiences are our bonds as human beings. This is important to humanity. Read this book if you are prepared to dwell on the Things That he has put before you. Have a highlighter ready to remind yourself of Those Most Important quotes from the book!
