Joseph Campbell's beloved quote "follow your bliss" has guided generations of students and readers to follow their inner calling in pursuit of a life fully lived. Rooted in Campbell's exploration of mythology, philosophy, and personal experience, and compiling passages from across his works, this volume reveals bliss not as fleeting pleasure, but as a profound, guiding energy that connects us to our true selves and the mysteries of the universe.
Drawing on wisdom from spiritual traditions like Hinduism, Buddhism, and ancient myths, Campbell explores how bliss can serve as a compass for navigating life's challenges. Bliss offers both a refuge and a challenge to transcend the ordinary, on a hero's journey as well as in the quiet moments of everyday life. Bliss is the pulse of life itself, a divine signal within, guiding us toward creativity, spiritual awakening, and personal fulfillment.
Part of the Joseph Campbell Essentials series highlighting recurring motifs in Campbell's work, On Bliss offers short, accessible renditions of his timeless teachings. It is sized to be a perfect companion, easily tucked away or gifted as an invitation to step into a life of authenticity, fulfillment, and spiritual renewal ? where bliss is not a destination, but a way of being.
