About this listen

Over a span of 12 years (1975 to 1987), New Dimensions Radio host Michael Toms recorded conversations between the late Joseph Campbell (author of The Power of Myth) and himself, during which time they developed a close friendship. In these stimulating conversations, central questions in the search for understanding and knowledge of the spiritual universe in which we live are explored.(P)2005 Hay House, Inc. Spirituality

Joseph Campbell is amazing!

This is my first introduction tp Joseph Campbell and I am thoroughly inspired and can not wait to read/listen to his work!

This although it is a little repetative because it is segments of discussions is still well worth a listen. :)

The wise words of Joseph Campbell

More than three decades after recording these interviews, Joseph Campbell's words are as relevant now as they were then.

There is some repetition of ideas throughout but a pleasure to hear Joseph explain them in different ways.

Mystical

Everyone interested in myth should listen to this man. A little disappointed that he only spoke about the American Indians

Accessible Intro to Joseph Campbell

Joseph Campbell is a salve to anyone seeking meaning in the modern world. He's insightful and shows you a way to find your own meaning in a modern world. I swear I could listen to him talk about car washes, he's such a great orator and joy to listen to.

Refreshingly wise and deep

If you could sum up The Wisdom of Joseph Campbell in three words, what would they be?

It is such a refreshing pleasure to listen to people who actually think, feel and see deeply into mechanisms of our beliefs and souls. It is a very inspiring conversation, which almost makes me feel ashamed of the superficiality of most of our thoughts... It's great to listen to people who try to analyse the way we think and act, without judging others, just with respect and love and incredible knowledge of world mythology and religions.

Authentic Campbell

Michael Tom's genuine interest in Campbell's knowledge and teachings of myth makes for fascinating conversations and deep insights. Highly recommended for anybody devoted to their own hero's journey and/or fans of mythology.
