The Hero with a Thousand Faces (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell)

He wrote a book called Hero with a Thousand Faces. So back in 1988... I read that book... The Power of Myth and the Hero with a Thousand Faces were the books that taught me about the hero's journey.

I mean, there's, you know, Joseph Campbell. Yeah, I was just gonna bring it up. You know, so, you know, in the power of myth, but is more technical version, the hero with a thousand faces.

I have read of course all Joseph Campbell stuff so I kind of understand formats of myths and the ... thousand faces.

The hero's journey, the hero of 1,000 Faces is that Joseph Campbell.

One of the most important books in my life in the last 12 years has been Joseph Campbell's The Hero with a thousand faces for the back end of the hero's journey and I haven't read it.

You should actually listen to it.

It's better to listen.

That book is better listen to hero with a thousand faces hero with a thousand faces.

When I so I listened to it audio first and I went back to it and listen to it in paper.

I could not believe how a human could put this narrative together honestly.

When I first read that book Andrews like I'm trapped in the return.

What he lays out in the book is I don't know maybe supposedly 2000 years of culture across multiple cultures.

So Joseph Campbell, his book, The Hero with a Thousand Faces inspired George Lucas, who was the guy who came up with the idea of Indiana Jones and for the Star Wars.

It's very interesting because if you look at Joseph Campbell's Hero of a Thousand Faces, it's almost exactly like that. There was a part of that book, maybe I'm answering too long but anyway. No, no, I love this. My son gave me the book in 2014 and he describes that phase of your life as returning the boon.

I've been reading about the... I'm almost done that Joseph Campbell book.

find a place inside where there's joy and the joy will burn out the pain.

My son in 2014 gave me a book, Joseph Campbell, and it was called Hero of a Thousand Faces.

My son in 2014 gave me a book, Joseph Campbell, and it was called Hero of a Thousand Faces.

There's a hero of a thousand faces.

I loved Ernest Becker's book. I love Ernest Becker too. But he's also deeply wrong. The hero myth that Becker lays out is not an illusion. It's actually the fundamental principle by which adaptation takes place.

But there was a whole literature that Becker didn't know of, that he didn't pay any attention to. And so he went, he went astray in his fundamental presumptions.

all of Campbell's thinking was was Jungian thinking all of it and the hero with a thousand faces is a great book especially as an introduction to that kind of literature

I think the real thing that resonates with people is like just the arc of that basic story. You want a thing, you need a different thing, you try to get the thing you want, you get the thing you actually need, and you sacrifice a thing, you change, and so on and so forth.

His like Hero with a Thousand Faces, I think is the book, kind of winds up inspiring every single Disney movie that's ever been made in your lifetime. Yeah, it's Star Wars. Beat for beat, it's Star Wars. Beat for beat, it's Dan Harmon's story circle.

Joseph Campbell's hero's journey, he wrote a book called Pure of the Thousand Faces. And he said that basically every character in a movie ... follows that structure.

There's a hero that ... Joseph Campbell, he wrote a book called Hero of the Thousand Faces.

There's a great series of books by a fellow named Joseph Campbell that you can read for more information on this.

I would recommend Hero with a Thousand Faces, which looks at everything from the...It sets forth the rules of stories and the way that humans write and experience stories. Everything from the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the earliest known works of literature to I don't know, Lethal Weapon.

You don't have to read the entirety of Joseph Campbell.

That's where you see people like the author of the golden bow uh frasier and then uh people like joseph cambell uh the author of hero with a thousand faces uh that's where you see them talking about the exactly what you're describing people are as smart thousands thousands of years ago as they are in the present day

You don't have to read the entirety of Joseph Campbell. You know, I have to sit through a hero with a thousand faces, which is a good book to know that there are a lot of basic story elements that haven't changed for millennia.

and then uh people like joseph cambell uh the author of hero with a thousand faces

There's this other book just called Camp that is by this British author, I'm blanking on his name.

His take on it is, it's anti what Susan Sontag said about it, which is the interface of high-low culture. His take on it is that camp is actually a state of mind. It is actually a psychology of people testing the limit of society.
