Joseph Campbell’s thoughts and perceptions serve to intrigue and ignite our minds with the desire to grasp the meaning of life. He challenges us to own our ancient human myths, and to recognize we are part of something larger than ourselves.

When we want to touch upon the shroud of mystery surrounding and penetrating our world, we have but to open one of his books and step inside. Now, there is something else…

…Follow Your Bliss: 52 Inspiration Cards, a sumptuous collection of playful yet thought-provoking inspiration cards from the teachings of Joseph Campbell, each of which features a quotation on the Psychological, Cosmological, Sociological, or Metaphysical aspects of his work. With a built-in frame for displaying a favorite card, or a rotation of reflections, this boxed card collection also functions as a deck of museful playing cards.

The Follow Your Bliss card deck represents each of the titles in New World Library’s series The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell. Whether looking for inspiration, a deep meditation, or an inspired game of black jack, these cards will test, expand, and inspire the mind of the thoughtful seeker.

Perhaps most responsible for bringing mythology to a mass audience, Joseph Campbell’s works rank among the classics in mythology and literature: Hero with a Thousand Faces, the four-volume The Masks of God, The Power of Myth with Bill Moyers, and many others. Among his numerous awards, Campbell received the National Institute of Arts and Letters Award for Contribution to Creative Literature and the 1985 Medal of Honor for Literature from the National Arts Club. A past president of the American Society for the Study of Religion, Campbell was professor emeritus at Sarah Lawrence College in New York until his death in 1987.
