I simultaneously feel that ‘The Heroes Journey’ story structure is both overused/overrated and also absolutely essential to understand. It is like a raft that, once you use it to get across the river, you should leave behind. Or rather, it should be studied to the point that it is internalised and then no loner consciously mulled over. This book is simply the best guide to the Heroes Journey in storytelling that I have yet to encounter.

“Explores the powerful relationship between mythology and storytelling in a clear, concise style that’s made it required reading for movie executives, screenwriters, playwrights, scholars, and fans of pop culture all over the world.”
