A Writer's Diary Virginia Woolf. I did not know what to expect, having no education on Jungian philosophy and perspective on psychoanalysis, but this is an amazing work. His deconstruction of dream analysis and development of social taboos is really worth listening to, as well as reading. I'm adding this book to my library. The reader is clear and expresses the material extremely well. I'm going to look for more he's narrated.

A real eye opener and great introduction to the works of Jung. The American accent was very strong for me as a Brit, but I soon came to love it. Jung's analysis is so clear and considerate I couldn't help but psycho-analyse myself whilst listening to his theories. Every sentence of Jung's is a treat, laden with such insight and meaning. You will find yourself rewinding and rewinding this audio book to gain a deeper understanding of Jung's mind. For those with little knowledge of Jung, I would recommend downloading the "A Very Short Introduction to Jung" by Anthony Stevens prior to downloading this book as this should provide a sufficient background before listening to this book.

This book is based upon a collection of Jung's Lectures and I found it utterly fascinating. My only gripe would be the narrators voice which was very American sorry!!

However I would still recommend this book. I struggled with some of the detail but found the overall meaning interesting and thought provoking. Despite my ignorance in part, I felt an understanding and felt uplifted by the wisdom of his words. I intrinsically recognised the truth in his words through my own experiences and felt reassured in this.

I listened to Jung's autobiography first, and while it was excellent, this was probably a better and more relevant introduction into Jung's world. He is the only doctor to have diagnosed the spiritual malaise of the 20th century man correctly. Full credit to him. C G Jung is a warrior whose intellect and bravery reverberates on through today and onward for all time if not eternity.

Each Chapter presented here has a genius of its own, psychology which was so much in its infancy at this time challenges and illuminates, Philosophy, Theology, Literature, Natural Science, Sociology and we could go on. I love the gentle but respectful polemic against Adler and Freud, and for those with a background in Christian religion his ubiquitous understanding of biblical prose and allegory seeps through much of his contentious liberal theology.

Finally his comfort with diversity in all its guises, culture, religion was surely a social philosophy ahead of its time and a precursor to late twentieth early twenty first century sensibility.



I definitely will come back to this work time and time again. A fascinating read, though sometimes difficult to follow if are not fully into the realm of psychotherapy. Vocabulary a bit complex but the teachings life changing. Narration annoyingly American but the amazing content of Jungs thought more than makes up for any detail of narration.

Critic Reviews "No one who is interested in modern thought can afford to miss this brilliant, literally soul-searching volume.

Modern Man In Search Of A Soul

It is in applied psychology, if anywhere, that today we should be modest and grant validity to a number of apparently contradictory opinions; for we are still far from having anything like a thorough knowledge of the human psyche, that most challenging field of scientific enquiry. For the present we have merely more or less plausible opinions that defy reconciliation. Whenever the creative force predominates, human life is ruled and molded by the unconscious as against the active will, and the conscious ego is swept along on a subterranean current, being nothing more than a helpless observer of events.

The dream is specifically the utterance of the unconscious. The dream content is to be taken in all seriousness as something that has actually happened to us.

Modern Man in Search of a Soul by Carl Gustav Jung (1955, Paperback)

Every dream is a source of information and a means of self-regulation;. There must be a thorough-going, conscious assimilation of unconscious contents. Theoretically, there do exist relatively fixed symbols. If there were no relatively fixed symbols, it would be impossible to determine the structure of the unconscious. The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. Each of us carries his own life-form—an indeterminable form which cannot be superseded by any other.

Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche.
