There are many fans of Joseph Campbell's myth theories. For example Clint Eastwood.

I wonder if Joseph Campbell ever had days where he wasn't sure that following your bliss was all he cracked it up to be.

that'll give me something good to chew on today.

Never read the book. I suppose it it just his opinion, he is putting a definition on something quite nebulous because it is about feelings which are very subjective.

I always scratch my head wondering what in the heck Campbell is talking about.

Campbell didn't use the word myth the way it is popularly used today to mean falsehood. He was talking about a story composed of symbols that embodied a transcendent truth.

This should be a mandatory warning label on all engagement rings.
