5.0 out of 5 stars Genius At Work, 19 Aug 2003
By Peter Kenney (Birmingham, Alabama, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Unlike most of Joseph Campbell's other works, A JOSEPH CAMPBELL COMPANION can be used as a daily reader with each brief topic consumed separately. The text of the book draws its material from an intensive seminar led by Campbell at Esalen in 1983.

The seminar lasted for one month and was attended by the editor, Diane K. Osbon, and nine other fortunate people.

In one memorable segment Campbell discusses the woman's life and her journey. The traditional role of the woman is in relationship in one way or another to a family. This role can continue into old age as in the example of the grandmother. Campbell contrasts the traditional female role to that of the female professors who are more on the male hero's journey deriving fulfillment from worldly achievements. Campbell sees these women as being less fulfilled than women who are also in nontraditional roles but are totally involved in the arts. The latter receive their fulfillment mostly from doing what the artist does and not so much from their accomplishments.

If you begin to read A JOSEPH CAMPBELL COMPANION, it will be a difficult volume to put back in the book in the book case. It is more likely to remain close at hand to be read again and again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book really tells about the "art of living", 19 Jun 1998
By A Customer
This is a very well-organized book that teaches us things about life that we don't already know and should know! It's a must-have for anyone needing a sense of spiritual guidance in one's life unless you're one of those people who believe that you can only find fulfillment and meaning "after"you die!

1.0 out of 5 stars bored of believing, 12 May 2003
have to say its not strightforward its a mans own opinion which truely is insane. living for now is his theme and dont worry about right or wrong just follow your instincts. book is more about belief than spiritual awakening
