In de mythen zijn natuur en bovennatuur één. Het zijn archetypische dromen, verwant met poëzie: de waarheid van het leven kun je alleen in metaforen benaderen. Mythen en godsdiensten spreken daarom in beelden. Campbell (het boek heeft de interviewvorm) betreurt dat het christendom vooral een ideologie werd die het ervaren van God tegengaat; vaak bevestigt het 't leven niet doordat het natuur en seks verdorven acht, terwijl de natuur toch uiting van goddelijkheid is. Het christendom bleef steken in de ethiek, het maakt van poëzie proza; mensen zijn deel van de natuur. Het boek is een zoektocht naar het zelf; het pleit voor het volgen van je wezen en waardeert daarom mystiek en gnostiek van christendom en andere religies. Het geeft interessante informatie over Oosterse mythologieën, de Westerse troubadours en hun beleving van liefde en over andere aspecten van onze cultuur. Het heeft waarde ter bezinning op het leven: niet de bestemming telt, maar de reis! 100 goede illustraties, 17 in kleur.
