An exploration of how the myths we inhabit shape the world we perceive, and how changing our mythic framework can transform reality itself.
The World We Live in is the Myth We Are In
Daniel Pinchbeck examines the relationship between mythic narratives and lived reality, arguing that human beings do not simply observe the world but actively construct it through the stories they tell. Drawing on anthropology, depth psychology, and the study of consciousness, Pinchbeck proposes that the crises of modernity stem from inhabiting a depleted myth — one rooted in materialism, separation, and linear progress — and that a conscious shift in mythic orientation is both possible and necessary.
The book invites readers to consider that reality is not fixed but participatory, and that by becoming aware of the myths we carry, we gain the capacity to choose new ones — stories that honor interconnection, mystery, and the sacred dimensions of existence.
