  • Summary

  • It is a privilege to be joined by Céline Cousteau for the season finale to discuss the book The Power of Myth by Joseph Campbell. As a filmmaker, author and environmentalist, Céline is in a unique position to understand and appreciate the power of storytelling. Picking up on Campbell’s assertion that ‘the only myth worth thinking about in the immediate future is the planet and everyone on it’, we talk about what this means in reality today, and whether there is a place for myth in the modern world.

    In the episode, we explore what it means - in Campbell’s words - to 'find your bliss' and ‘slay your dragon’, and what these concepts have meant to Céline throughout her life and career. Finally, we hear from Céline about the work she has done in the Amazon and the impact this magical place has on all our lives, including how it is said that the rainforest produces oxygen for one in every five breaths we take.
