Synopsis

Phil Cousineau has found that as early as 1400 B.C. - and probably much earlier - competitive games anchored communities, created a diversion from violence, and even contributed to the evolution of the human body, mind, and soul. "This desire to shine brightly," says Cousineau, "at least in one moment in your life, either on the battlefield or on the Olympic grounds, is a deep, deep urge in us."

About Phil Cousineau

Phil Cousineau is an award-winning writer and filmmaker, teacher and editor, lecturer, storyteller, and TV host. His fascination with the art, literature, and history of culture has taken him from Michigan to Marrakesh, Iceland to the Amazon, in a worldwide search for what the ancients called the "soul of the world." With more than thirty-five books and fifteen scriptwriting credits to his name, the "omnipresent influence of myth in modern life" is a thread that runs through all of his work.
