Campbell's books on mythology and the psychology of myth have long become bestsellers all over the world, selling millions of copies. The author views myth as a guide to a person's life path, from birth to complete self-realization, which he calls bliss. Combining history with modern psychology, he shows how myths shape life and lead us down the path of happiness or misfortune. Campbell's works inspired many creators from the art world, including George Lucas to create Star Wars.
