Although evolution and change have been the leading force on earth since the beginning of times, some millennial stories, myths, and metaphors stand out for their longevity and relevance. Some of them went through slight modifications to land better in present times, but all maintained their core message. In this episode, I'm joined by my wife Paige to discuss the metaphors in Disney movies; we analyze their long-lasting nature and their power to teach us about ourselves and the world around us. We delve into the possibilities of rewriting our hero's journey by reflecting on myths and metaphors, the vast amount of wisdom in them despite their simplicity and their massive staying power. We also talk about Disney stories' influence on social roles and social constructs, the impact of feminine and masculine energy on them, and the powerful trait of playing, suspending disbelief. In This Episode, You Will Learn:What is it that Disney stories have that makes them stick around for so long (2:16)About the collective and individual experiences in the world (4:46)The value of play and its capacity to suspend disbelief (6:56)About the staying power of myths and metaphors (10:16)Using metaphors as principles (18:02)Feminine and masculine energy, and a world existing between their extremes (19:43)Resources:Book: Joseph Campbell - The Hero with a Thousand Faces (The Collected Works of JosephBook: Anne Miller - Metaphorically Selling: How to Use the Magic of Metaphors to Sell, Persuade, & Explain Anything to Anyone Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
