My Red Couch Talk with Ben Haymond

Benjamin Haymond is a historian, linguist, and author who sees the world as a collection of interconnected stories. Based in Switzerland since 2010, Ben’s life has been a cross-border journey from the US to Germany and finally to Lucerne, where he lectures and writes historical fiction that explores the depths of the human experience. In our talk, we discuss storytelling and how his personal history—from his father’s legacy of redemption to his own fascination with how language shapes our perception—fuels his creative process. We dive into his novels, Shadows within the Fog and The Last Train to Milan, and explore the universal themes of the Hero’s Journey. ✨ The Monomyth and Jungian Archetypes: How Ben uses Joseph Campbell’s frameworks to teach and write stories that resonate emotionally. ✨ The Self-Publishing Revolution: Why building an audience is the most critical step for modern authors, whether going traditional or via Amazon Kindle. ✨ Historical Roots: The thousand-year inspiration behind Shadows within the Fog and the WWII stories that birthed his characters. ✨ The Immigrant’s Ticket: Ben’s advice on the courage to move abroad and the importance of keeping a "return ticket" mindset for mental freedom.
