It's not the most gripping bit of visual entertainment, but Campbell's lectures are deeply nourishing to the soul. This is a fine, extended look at the man at the top of his game, providing an accessible, extended tour through the world's religions, and works especially well as a primer on Buddhism.

It is a no-frills presentation with just the documented lectures of an extraordinary teacher and mind. He humanizes many difficult concepts from psychology to religion while taking you through the process of not only what various people believe, but also how they came to those beliefs.

Mythos is a direct, quality recording of a series of his lectures, and we should consider ourselves lucky that someone had the presence of mind to undertake them while he was still in a state of health to do them.
