Can we use myths to help relieve our modern anxiety, or do they help foster it? In \u003cb\u003eMyths to Live by, Joseph Campbell\u003c\/b\u003e explores the enduring power of the universal myths that influence our lives daily and examines the myth-making process from the primitive past to the immediate present, retuning always to the source from which all mythology springs: the creative imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCampbell stresses that the borders dividing the Earth have been shattered; that myths and religions have always followed the certain basic archetypes and are no longer exclusive to a single people, region, or religion. He shows how we must recognize their common denominators and allow this knowledge to be of use in fulfilling human potential everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47014499221744,"sku":"9780140194616","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780140194616_p0.jpg?v=1763641908","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780140194616","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
