About Finding Joe
In the early 20th century, while studying world mythology, Joseph Campbell discovered a pattern hidden in every story ever told.
He called it “The Hero's Journey.”
Finding Joe brings Campbells wisdom to life and takes us on the ultimate hero's journey: the journey of self discovery. As you slay dragons and uncover treasures, you just may find that the holy grail you seek is closer than you think.
The film is directed by Patrick Takaya Solomon and stars Deepak Chopra, Rashida Jones, Robin Sharma, Sir Ken Robinson, Mick Fleetwood, Brian Johnson, Robert Walter, Rebbecca Armstrong, Alan Cohen, Tony Hawk, Lair Hamilton, Gay Hendricks, and more.
In this special Finding Joe watch party hosted by Heroic, we'll follow a viewing of the film with a private Q&A with director Pat Solomon, plus instant access to download the Philosopher's Notes that inspired the film.
The Power of Myth
by Joseph Campbell
This book is based on the amazing PBS interview series Bill Moyers did with Campbell shortly before he passed away and captures some of the 24 hours of filmed wisdom that hit the cutting floor. We'll learn how Campbell came up with the admonition to "follow your bliss!" (hint: it's from the Upanishads), the importance of loving our fate, how we're helped by hidden hands when we really commit to our paths and so much more.
The Hero with a Thousand Faces: The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell
by Joseph Campbell
If you’ve ever heard of the “Hero’s Journey,” you have him and his lifelong commitment to studying mythology to thank. This book (written in 1949) is the one that captures the essence of his thoughts on the “monomyth” that shows up across all cultures. One universal hero. A thousand faces. Big Ideas we explore include: a quick look at the hero’s journey, moving past the veil of the unknown (aka romancing your discomfort zone) while creating micro hero journeys (all day every day), your ultimate boon (don’t make King Midas’s mistake), the mistake that the makers of legend made (growth mindset, guys!!), and a portrait of the modern hero (look in the mirror!).
Pathways to Bliss: Mythology and Personal Transformation
by Joseph Campbell
We'll learn why following our bliss is so important (hint: our bliss is the transcendent wisdom within us bubbling up!) and how we can more courageously follow it in our lives (hint: say "Yes!" to life more often!). We'll also look at how we can make the simple things in our life part of our heroic journey and how going for it isn't an ego trip.
