Can we use myths to help relieve our modern anxiety, or do they help foster it? In \u003ci\u003eMyths to Live\u003c\/i\u003e by, Joseph Campbell explores the enduring power of the universal myths that influence our lives daily and examines the myth-making process from the primitive past to the immediate present, retuning always to the source from which all mythology springs: the creative imagination. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCampbell stresses that the borders dividing the Earth have been shattered; that myths and religions have always followed the certain basic archetypes and are no longer exclusive to a single people, region, or religion.
