Shaw argues that modern life is myth‑impoverished, leaving us vulnerable to harmful stories, and offers myths and initiatory rites as “ancient technologies” for wholeness, maturity, and connection. He teaches how to read myths as living things, retells powerful tales for life’s challenges, and shows how to reclaim personal stories. Most personally, he recounts his 30‑year journey and 101‑night Dartmoor vigil leading to unexpected faith in Christ as the “True Myth.” The audiobook blends scholarly insight with vivid storytelling in the style of C.S. Lewis and Tolkien, endorsed by Gabor Maté and Justin Brierley as transformative.
