A long-time collaborator of Joseph Campbell and one of today's leading teachers on the role of applied mythology, Cousineau shares tools to alleviate burnout and rekindle creative passion in our lives. Based on many years of teaching, Phil offers stories, ideas and exercises drawn from historical and contemporary figures, artists of all kinds, and his own experience, to inspire us on ways to live a passionate and creative life.
