Summary
Joseph Campbell famously defined myth as “other people’s religion.” But he also said that one of the basic functions of myth is to help each individual through the journey of life, providing a sort of travel guide or map to reach fulfillment - or, as he called it, bliss. For Campbell, many of the world’s most powerful myths support the individual’s heroic path toward bliss.
In Pathways to Bliss, Campbell examines this personal, psychological side of myth. Like his classic best-selling books Myths to Live By and The Power of Myth, Pathways to Bliss draws from Campbell’s popular lectures and dialogues, which highlight his remarkable storytelling and ability to apply the larger themes of world mythology to personal growth and the quest for transformation. Here he anchors mythology’s symbolic wisdom to the individual, applying the most poetic mythical metaphors to the challenges of our daily lives.
Campbell dwells on life’s important questions. Combining cross-cultural stories with the teachings of modern psychology, he examines the ways in which our myths shape and enrich our lives and shows how myth can help each of us truly identify and follow our bliss.

Beautiful
This is my favourite Campbell book. All of Campbell’s works are absolute magic but the nature of this one seems to really speak to “you” on a very personal level.
It covers some deep themes but there’s so much beauty to it all and also there’s some humour in there which always makes something great even better.

Bless Joseph Campbell book!
This book discusses Myths and how they relate to our present lives rather than the intellectual factual content of the other books
It’s for this reason this is my personal favourite
