Just finished this book. Great summary Joseph Campbell's work.
"The hero journey is one of the universal patterns through which the light of consciousness shows brightly. What I think is that a good life is one hero journey after another. Over and over again, you are called to the realm of adventure, you are called to new horizons. Each time, there is the same problem: Do I dare? And then if you dare, the dangers are there, and the help also, and the fulfillment or fiasco. There is always the possibility of a fiasco. But there's also the possibility of bliss." - J. Campbell
