Meet the author

Stephen Larsen is the authorized biographer of Joseph Campbell, chosen personally by Campbell to chronicle his life and work after years of close friendship and collaboration. A psychotherapist and professor emeritus of psychology, Larsen's deep understanding of myth and the human psyche was honed through his own studies with Campbell. This unique position, as both a trusted friend and a scholarly peer, allowed him to capture the intimate story of the man behind the legendary ideas presented in this book.
