A Mythic Life: Learning to Live Our Greater Story Paperback - 1996

by Jean Houston

Jean Houston's rich and insightful meta-biography recounts her larger-than-life personal story, showing readers in the process how to recognize and tap into the mythic themes that shape and inform their own lives. "Without myths, a society becomes sterile and is bereft of meaning and soul. I recommend (A Mythic Life) to those who want to restore the magical and the miraculous in their lives".--Deepak Chopra.

From the publisher

Bob Woodward made Jean Houston national news in the summer of 1996 when he revealed her working friendship with Hillary Clinton. Mrs. Clinton, Woodward reported, connected most enthusiastically with Dr. Houston and anthropologist Mary Catherine Bateson when they met with the Clintons at a Camp David retreat that also included presentations by Marianne Williamson, Anthony Robbins, and Stephen Covey. Dr. Houston subsequently consultedregularly at the White House, especially helping Mrs. Clinton with herbestselling book It Takes a Village.The tabloid press had a field day, but the sensationalistic coverage onlyrevealed how out of touch the popular media are with the profound role that advanced psychology and spirituality play in people's lives today. Jean Houston is at the cutting edge of the work on realizing the fullness of our human potential, which is as mainstream and pervasive in our culture ascomputer technology.A Mythic Life presents Jean Houston's real story and her true teaching. Here draws on her personal history and vast cultural knowledge to show how we can experience in our own lives the greater human story that is revealed myths and discover our real potential.
