5.0

Joseph Campbell's Hero with A Thousand Faces was way too academic for me. That book was groundbreaking, but this one takes that knowledge and makes it much more accessible and provides a larger context. I've read earlier versions and have the audio CD versions of the collaboration with Michael Hague, so I was already quite familiar with the content.

What I loved most were the appendices that put the role of storing, the writer's journey, and the story about staying on the path. Those sections gave my writing and my lifelong path as a writer in a greater context. I found that part of the book profound and moving.
