About this product

Product Information

Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice, sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung felt that self-understanding would lead to a full and productive life. Thus, the reader will gain new insights into himself from this thoughtful volume, which also illustrates symbols throughout history. Completed just before his death by Jung and his associates, it is clearly addressed to the general reader. Praise for Man and His Symbols "This book, which was the last piece of work undertaken by Jung before his death in 1961, provides a unique opportunity to assess his contribution to the life and thought of our time, for it was also his firsat attempt to present his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public. . . . What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society, by insisting that imaginative life must be taken seriously in its own right, as the most distinctive characteristic of human beings." -- Guardian "Straighforward to read and rich in suggestion." --John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate "This book will be a resounding success for those who read it." -- Galveston News-Tribune "A magnificent achievement." -- Main Currents "Factual and revealing." -- Atlanta Times

    • A great read for anyone wanting to learn more about their internal psyche

      Jung and other choice authors put together a detailed list of archetypes and explanations of how they relate to your mind. This explains so much about the characters that we relate to in books and movies because these same characters exist in our minds. Really interesting read. Also there is a whole section on dream interpretation which I personally find fascinating.
