The essays contained in The Mythopoetic Impulse: Selected Essays, 2017-2022 first appeared in the Joseph Campbell Foundation's weekly newsletter, MythBlast, which contains an original essay interpreting a monthly theme within the context of a highlighted work by Joseph Campbell. We at JCF intend for MythBlasts to deliver little "blasts" of mythology that will introduce readers to a deeper, more considered understanding of myth and Joseph Campbell's work. Myth reaches into nearly every domain of human experience, and influences nearly every human thought and endeavor. Myth has the power to delight, console, inspire, fascinate, and illuminate, while simultaneously touching upon the deepest mysteries of human existence. Myth is a world-building tool with the power to imagine symbolically the archetypal energies and forms that contribute to the order and structure of daily life. There can be no doubt that myth shapes our world, and when the symbols and stories of myth are taken literally or understood as dogma, the worlds it helps create are inevitably brutish, greedy, and unjust. These selected essays explore myth as it intersects with psychology, literature, art, and culture studies, and each domain lends understanding and relevance to the other. This essential reciprocity moves one into a deeper relationship to beauty, to the fascinating mysteries of existence, to nobility and creativity-in short, to life itself.

Comprehensive insider knowledge and guidance on how to successfully navigate the ever-changing college landscape from a professor with decades of experience as an educator and student mentor Every year, millions of new students enroll in college. Between the skyrocketing costs and the alienation and mental health challenges caused by smartphones, social media, and schooling during Covid-19, the experience awaiting new students is not only radically different from that of their parents, guidance counselors, and teachers, it’s different from what it was just a few years ago. Until now, there was no guide that addressed these seismic changes. Deborah J. Cohan, a professor of sociology and a deeply engaged mentor to her students, created this book specifically for this reason. Her articles about college life for Psychology Today and Inside Higher Ed have routinely gone viral, garnering more than 2 million reads and establishing her as the expert on college life now. In this book, she builds on the insights and advice from her articles to provide a complete road map for navigating the social and academic issues that have emerged in the new, postpandemic campus landscape. Readers will find: • strategies to help students become effective advocates and communicators for themselves • advice on choosing a major that aligns with a student’s true passions and strengths • tips for juggling a variety of issues including personal relationships, mental health, social media, and academic challenges • guidance on preparing students for the transition to college and to life after graduation • help for parents on stepping back from becoming overly involved With her wise and knowledgeable voice, Cohan has created a resource that’s accessible, authoritative, and packed with practical information. This insider’s guide will give students and parents the confidence to navigate the new dynamics of today’s college experience.
