Customer Review: New Age Crap for the insecure
Summary: 1 Stars
Campbell is a virulently anti-Western culture intellectual lightweight who nontheless worships anything non-western tradition with an uncritical eye. Moyers is a failed minister and ex-PR flack to LBJ who is still trying to rewrite his own past. With Campbell as the putative sage and Moyers as his fawning acolyte, they put on a show that's a parody of Socratic dialogue.Together they deliver the kind of intellectually doubtful New Age pap that seems to be the stock and trade of PBS these days. This book panders to egotistical attitudes, celebrates moral relativism and the denial of personal responsibility and assures the readers that no matter what goes wrong in their life, they're not to blame.
But that's what sells.
