Hands down, the best book I ever read. Totally helped me define who I was and what my life was about when I found it in my 20s and I still feel the effects of it in my late 30s. This book helps you see the meaning of your life through symbol and story. It's a sort of armchair vision quest that helps you figure out what it's all about. Brilliantly done. I also got their later revision, Mythic Path, but I'm partial to the original. It feels more organic, flows better, I think.

Feinstein and Krippner have written an incredible book on personal myths or concepts we all use to make sense of the world and our place in it. While it uses some Jungian concepts it goes much farther. It is also a very practical book with many exercises to help one identify the myth they live by and change it if necessary.
