The twenty-four essays in Myth and Modern Living confirm Joseph Campbell's profound observation that myths are not just fantastic tales out of dusty tomes, but have practical applications in the world today. Gerringer sees Campbell's perspective as experiential mythology, grounded in the human experience. There's a dynamic to myth that is always humming along in the background, whether we know it or not. Myth and Modern Living explores how those energies inform our lives, and shares tools to consciously engage and partner the mythic imagination.
