What is the Hero's Journey?: Pat Soloman at TEDxRockCreekPark

[@darinwood2280]

I am teaching my boy, 11, about this right now... he is listening. Typing out HIS story about the journey. Thank you. Feeling Inspired.

[@judithsmith6538]

Hope your son finds his bliss and is his own hero x

[@GrowthMindsetChannel]

“The journey of the hero is about the courage to seek the depths; the image of creative rebirth; the eternal cycle of change within us; the uncanny discovery that the seeker is the mystery which the seeker seeks to know." ~ Joseph Campbell 💪🏻🚀

[@lisaengelbrektson]

Lively crowd.... Yikes! (Great talk!)

[@vyster44]

Thank you for creating Finding Joe! It's so wonderful and moving.

[@griffinjones2053]

Thank you for "Finding Joe" - I share it with people that seem to me to be in a moment where they need it.

[@umberdar]

Thanks for the talk. Was that audience alive or cardboard cut-outs?

[@martinbajsic4836]

The sound we hear in this clip is from the microphone attached to his chest, which doesn't pick up the audience simply because of it's design

[@alexandreaally_rightz5868]

😂😂😂😂

[@NoraBasharLababidi]

haha i thought the audience was brutal too

[@beachlife2968]

Yeah felt sorry for him as that was a tough audience.

[@ronreaper9462]

[@starbuck26]

This guy would be totally at home in my freshman english class.

[@rr7firefly]

Pain wakes us up to see reality and to act meaningfully, with mind and heart united as never before. We all have the capacity to go outside our comfort zones and to do things we once thought impossible. Grab that opportunity!

[@Pookie611atme]

Well stated, as one that has had some experience through and on the other side

[@rr7firefly]

@@Pookie611atme We could exchange some good stories, I bet. The only other two Pookies I know are the Liza Minnelli character in that early movie. And then the puppet on Soupy Sales.

[@beachlife2968]

When he mentioned Steve jobs, Cancer and iPhone came to mind. 1 in 3 will now get cancer, it used to be 1 in 4 so what has changed in the last 10-20 years and all i can think is we all have mobile phones in our hands now and wifi. Maybe life is more stressful now, i don't know. Good talk.

[@dennisseda801]

My condolences on the family loss. I appreciate the speech.

[@JohnFollisBIV]

Great, inspiring and resonating. Thanks for having the courage to share your story.

[@orionstar6268]

i did not laugh at his phone joke either because the talk was so good that I was gone inside myself thinking about my own hero story and trying to understand my 23 and 29 year old children. I know everyone was thinking the same.

[@ikehelly]

Good for you. About time someone made a film about Joseph Campbell. Inspiring.

[@ainathiel]

I agree this is an interesting talk. I am glad I finally got to it. I am working hard at my bliss.

[@Sparks217]

Here in my garage. Got this new Lamborghini here. Fun to drive in the Hollywood Hills here.

[@bradselby5008]

When I think of the Hero's Journey, Gilgamesh comes to mind.

[@vklakkineni]

Inspiring talk! I shared your movie and this talk with my kids.

[@barrymoran9453]

Thank you for posting this video.

[@catconclusion2003]

The hero's journey is perhaps the quintessential human experience that we all partake of in some way or another if we open ourselves to the possibilities of life.

[@judithsmith6538]

Perfectly framed x

You are very strong my friend.

crazy, wish i wasnt stuck in depression for last 8 years or i woulda been somewhere else

[@juiianadebeers8230]

Great summary, excellent delivery, profound adaptation to your real-life vulnerability. I am sorry the crowd seemed flat-I assure you they were engaged.

[@ienjoysandwiches]

this guy looks like he woke up one morning in 9th grade, looked in the mirror, and said: 'i am sticking with this look for LIFE'

[@annieev171]

I like sandwiches 😂😂😂😂

[@GeoffKnoop]

Amazing!!!! Thank you!!!!

[@ashleylloyd7445]

old news, there's nothing new under the sun. read in to ancient tales and you will relate to all of them as i have. we are the chosen generation. there has been a great awakening due to other entities intervening there time of returning was prophetised through out the ages. the ancient are here now, many have of these ancient soul chose to been born at this time, to remember what we have long since forgotten. The time is now the veil is lifting.

[@colelutz1077]

Great talk!

[@georgiaf4499]

Does anyone know a video that can explain all 17 steps of Joseph Campbell's book? All the videos I find are only an overview

[@arturbabinski7248]

- What is the Hero's Journey - we and the hero on screen is the same pesron. We feel like this character all his srtuggles and wins - follow your bliss- do that thing which make feel you most joy and do it no matter what- that is the starting place for the real world hero - ❓ what is the hero inside me?

[@RODERICKMOLASAR]

I'd rather be the good man than the great man.

[@TheLuckyShepherd]

Want a good explanation of the Heroes Journey, listen to Guy Richie on Joe Rogans podcast.

[@manu.z.]

thanks

[@jacksoldano5331]

7:23 ANOTHER? When was the first?

[@tom6612]

There is a major flaw in this lecture. Campbell said that the hero becomes a hero by making a great sacrifice for others. The hero does not get rich. The hero takes the hit so that others may benefit. Steve Jobs is not a hero. He got rich. He sacrificed nothing. Soloman missed the main point of "The Hero With A Thousand Faces" ( Campbells book ).

[@walka112]

Yes there is a flaw. It's the stage-terrified inadequate lecturer trying desperately to retain some sort of grip on what he's not even doing slightly well.

[@stephengifford6807]

i think you misunderstood my friend Steve jobs went through a lot to get where what apple is now. Where you think others benefit by money it doesn't necessarily have to mean money wealth and riches, you benefit with convenience, simplicity and helpful tools introduced into our lives which Steve jobs company apple provides for us, he had many failures and all he did was that he got back up and keep going till he got what he wanted then which created jobs enriched the economy and made our lives easier and got the world on the right track to make things happen. people use his technologies to cure diseases or find a cure to cancer design new things create businesses and to make the world a better place so next time you have an opinion get some evidence to back up your theory thank you.

[@ienjoysandwiches]

Campbell also said that many heroes' journeys don't follow the entire pattern. Very few do.

[@curtisbris7698]

Steve Jobs doesn't inspire me. If I had an Iphone which I don't my suffering remains,I don't see a path to end my suffering,with Steve Jobs.

[@RayanxButt]

I like sandwiches Sounds like you need an iPhone to me 😅😂

[@Bentkz]

Great talk. Love the awkwardness at 4:41 haha

[@Cheezus_Crisp]

ikr

[@scottmcdonnell4936]

Does it matter if you torched the village before you left?

[@mateuszlaskowski3123]

Pretty much, from what he says and from what I've learnt, your journey will never be complete.

[@TheFlyguy31]

I liked your talk, you are a brave man

[@Cheezus_Crisp]

here for school :(

[@jeetenzhurlollz8387]

Awesome talk

The guy has the movie available for free on his YT channel O: Imma check that thing right now :)

[@keontez]

what was the name of the movie?

[@msrhuby]

That's it? You made a film about the Hero's Journey? Surely there's more to life!

[@judithsmith6538]

Have you watched his film?

[@judithsmith6538]

Have you watched 'Finding Joe'?

[@msrhuby]

@@judithsmith6538 I have not watched Finding Joe, thanks for the tip.

[@msrhuby]

@@judithsmith6538 I would hope taking the Hero's Journey would bring people back to Jesus because we are all the prodigal sons/daughters. I don't believe Joseph Campbell was a believer - the Hero's Journey is a great analogy though - I guess he'll have to keep going around and around again until we come to the knowledge of our Creator.

[@misssiberia69]

"A guy named Joseph Campbell", never mind his academic credentials. "A guy..."

[@MODredxking]

This speaker is boring and not funny. Presentation was bad but the idea is gold

[@griffinschultz5417]

I don't know if he was boring. I believe he was just trying to get his point through in a serious tone, but I do agree when you say "presentation idea was gold "

[@Discipol]

+MODredxking agreed, he laughs by himself and his jokes are infrequent. I didn't know what to expect so I ignore him and focused on the words.

[@xelism]

Who wrote the freakin' subtitles, GOD!

[@DJenSG]

You start becoming a hero when you get off that stage.

[@judithsmith6538]

Why?

[@pricklyphlox]

Campbell "noticed" this pattern? Many think he simply imposed it, like any arbitrary conceptual scheme. Oh well.

[@MegaBruce247]

So if you follow your heart's desire and don't see magic ... doesn't it mean ... you got it wrong...

[@miketan5603]

Steve Jobs turned and sold the treasure to pretty hefty prices.... just saying

[@msrhuby]

Gee! Soloman - Solomon - go figure! Beware of Solomon's Third Temple!

[@dianeibsen5994]

To bad Steve jobs was used as the example. I've heard by many people that he was not a kind person or kind boss. That he was actually quite mean and filled with rage..far from compassionate. I can think of far better examples from people with kind hearts, not living from their brain. Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi for example. Thank you anyway.

[@johnnymac6178]

Who said a hero needs to be nice or well liked? Nobody likes the drill sergeant but he will make the best soldier. Batman, Wolverine, Ironman…none of those characters were individually liked by others as people but their heroic actions and sacrifices made people love them.

[@alexsilbert7731]

hey

[@mms3442]

what’s wrong with the audience ?

[@Ducky_logan]

This speech is just not good...

[@judithsmith6538]

Why?

[@eibblood8349]

Wow, tough crowd. I thought his jokes were pretty funny.

[@rustyhguitar1]

Annoying amateur. NEVER ask an audience if "this thing" is working. Be a professional and trust the professionals whose job it is to make sure you're heard without distraction. You undid their work by creating the distraction. Secondly, what on earth makes you think it's helpful to thump a piece of equipment which is designed to take a small sound and make it a big one? Distraction no 2, disrespect for the audio professionals and your audience. Your content is great but please show some trust and respect for others.

[@dannysze8183]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@alexsilbert7731]

but nice video otherwise

[@jasonwilson2763]

What a hideously awkward pric this guy is. What on earth is he trying to say?
