The Hero With a Thousand Faces
by Joseph Campbell
This is the classic book from the fifties that broke new ground with a comparative view of mythology. Scholarly and thoughtful, it requires careful attention in reading–but it's well worth the effort!
Myths
to Live By
by Joseph Campbell
One of Campbell's most accessible books. This volume is a collection of lectures that were edited into a fascinating look at the aspects of mythology that speak to the psychology of the human race. Chapters include: The Confrontation of East and West in Religion, The Importance of Rites and Zen.
by Calvin S. Hall, Vernon J. Nordby
A Primer of Jungian Psychology stands out as a concise and easily understandable presentation of some of Jung's most important teachings. Through these ideas the reader can find a deeper understanding of their own behavior and how the human mind may work. We can then extend these ideas to see how societies work..
Iron
John a Book About Men
by Robert Bly
As a starting point, Robert Bly chose to use a folk tale sometimes called
Iron John. Around this tale he weaves a thought provoking book that examines
the male mind. The results are insightful and revealing to both men and
women. Bly, whose specialty is poetry, moves beyond self-help or
self-realization by tapping into a man's mostly unacknowledged emotional
self.
Cannery
Row
by John Steinbeck.
This small book is a total, nonlinear treat in the form of a collection
of loosely related stories. More like glimpses into the colorful life
of the inhabitants of the fringes of Monterey, California than a novel
it still is a treasure of images and insights. It's interesting to note
that Joseph Campbell lived for a while in Monterey, sometimes working
with the character that represents Doc and associating with Steinbeck
himself.
as told by John Niehardt
A classic book that tells the true life story of a Native American named Black Elk who became very ill as a child in the 19th century and had visions that foretold the end of the way of life for the plains peoples. While the book appears to be a anthropological record of an old man's recollections it is really a portrayal of the worldview that many peoples make up the larger circle of life. This book sits at the intersection of history, spirituality and the power of myths and rituals.
Watership
Down
by Richard Adams
This tale of a group of rabbits undertaking the hero's journey in search of a new home is poignant and intelligent and affects the reader in truly deep and astonishing ways. The story both grows on you and grows in your heart as you become caught up in the rabbit's world. This is truly inspired fiction.
by Jack Kerouac
The Dharma Bums is based on experiences the famous beat generation writer had during the mid-1950s while living in California, after he'd become interested in Buddhism's spiritual mode of understanding. It's the story of disillusionment with the material life and the search for a center of spirituality.
