I also disagree with a LOT of stuff he says. I enjoyed the book he wrote, that's about as far as it goes. As to whether or not he teaches "outdated" psychological concepts... I can't comment on that. I have no degree in psychology and I won't pretend to. To each their own though.

Well, he is re-popularising Jungian philosophy in the modern era, and bringing the more questionable right-wing subtext in Jung and Campbell to the forefront, but, as compelling as it can be, and certainly it's a good lens to understand culture, it doesn't mean that mythology is necessarily a good lens through which to understand how human psychology works, let alone what makes people happy. Here's an article about it.
