Summary: The Poetry of Change: Living the Mythic Path
Review: A lucid, warm and transforming work, The Mythic Path is the kind of book one continues to carry around as a companion once finished reading it. The rituals of the 5-stage process provide a framwork for addressing one of the most important questions confronting contemporary humankind: How to find grounding and depth for one's soul and spirit in a world struggling to retain a sense of mythos and the sacred. The two authors have combined their individual expeiriences to create a work that is simple in its approach, while sublime in its impact. Stanley Krippner brings to the book years of experience in the study of shamanism and mythology, and David Feinstein combines philosophy, mythos and years of clinical work to offer a comprehensive program for change accessible and invigorating to both scholars and lay persons.

Review: Below are endorsements and review excerpts for The Mythic Path, which was first published in 1988 and was then extensively revised, updated, and expanded for the current edition, which was published in 1997.A fresh and intriguing synthesis of a mythological perspective with contemporary psychological methods. -- Joseph Campbell The Mythic Path is one of those few books that honor and ignite the power and mystery of the interior life. It is an inspirational work that demonstrates how personal mythology directs our actions and organizes our experience -- Angeles Arrien, Ph.D. An important, fascinating, and delightful book which adds a new dimension to our understanding of human behavior. -- Ashley Montagu, Ph.D. Continuing and expanding the work of C.G. Jung and Joseph Campbell, this important book explores the role of mythology in our lives and its relevance for the future of the planet. -- Stanislav Grof, M.D. Brilliantly conceived and beautifully written, THE MYTHIC PATH opens new ground in the fields of personal and social transformation.

Summary: Mythic Path Is A Practical Guide For Reaching One's Goals
Review: Mythic Path is a psychological inventory of personal myths that may no longer be of value. The authors have expanded their original book, Personal Mythology, to challenge the reader to participate in a mythic treaure hunt to uncover the origin of the mythology one is living. By following an easy step-by-step system of discovery some deeply-embedded patterns should be identified. This practical guide helps to acknowledge, heal and integrate new myths that should be helpful in reaching new goals in life. I would recommend this book to anyone who doesn't want to waste time living out a mythology imposed on them by their childhood or their culture.
