THE HERO WITH A THOUSAND FACES
Joseph Campbell lived his life as he believed he should live it - as a maverick. Having just watched a PBS documentary on Joseph and his understandings of mythology, I'm inspired to read his book 'The Hero With a Thousand Faces' to learn more about the stories that have inspired generations throughout time to understand the meaning of life and human (and world) consciousness.
The Face Behind Star Wars
George Lucas referenced Joseph's book on mythology to write the Star Wars films - using classic themes of hero trials & ascension and calls to follow strong inner forces of the heart to make decisions for good. These have great meaning to us all and why the the film - in it's third generation, still appeals to so many to this day.
