description: Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung recognized the power of myth. Now Live the Myth! shows you how to apply these rich ancient resources to your daily life. Through sixteen myths, from the 'Myth of Sisyphus' to 'Demeter's Dilemma,' mythologist Vincent A. LaZara takes you on a journey of self-exploration and empowered action. You'll be happy to call Heracles, Orpheus, and Artemisia your mythic allies as you navigate your way through the labyrinth of life, love, death, and everything else that comes with being human.How do you make choices in a crisis? 'Between Scylla and Charybdis' holds the key. What creative solutions exist to seemingly impossible problems? Unleash your imagination with 'Alexander and the Gordian Knot.'What do you do when people or events are not as they appear to be? 'The Wooden Horse' reveals its secrets.LaZara, also known as the Myth Man, has been living the myth for over 30 years. An experienced teacher with a Ph.D. in philosophy and a specialty in critical thinking, he has a passion for helping people apply the works of great thinkers to their own lives. Inspired by his example, writer Jan Henrikson is living the myth, now, too.
