The Hero with a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell
4.0
Loses a star for depending too much on Jung when Freud should've been enough.
Key points:
-Makes the leap from Unconscious to universal via archetypes - too big of a leap
-shows inversion of group myth leading individuals as a group to individuals lead only by interest being cutoff from mythic unconscious so left to float in ambiguity
2nd Reading
On the second time through this really starts to sound like something coming out of that new age-y period of the eighties when it was all about holistic solutions for modernity's obsession with the individual. There are better solutions.
