A moving and thoughtful recounting of insights and life experiences from a humble, gentle shepherd of the human soul. If you are "stuck" in your life, there's an alchemy in the reading of this book that will move you to the inmost core of your being. Although not technically a book for the newbie to psychology, Jung's clarity of expression, along with an excellent little dictionary of unfamiliar terminology, make this book accessible to most anyone who has the patience to read it carefully. That patience will be rewarded with deep and stirring information regarding what it means to be fully human. Although a few concepts are dated, Jung was amply apologetic as to his humanity and possible errors of judgement. This ultimately makes the material still as poignant and valuable as it was at the time it was written, and maybe even more so in the pervasive atmosphere of anomie humanity faces today.Read full review

Carl Jung is one of the most lucid, imaginative and far-seeing minds of the millenia, and this book is a glimpse into the back rooms of that amazing thought process. What was he really like as a child? What did he think about? How did those early experiences form the man who had such a profound impact on the field of psychology? The reassuring part of this biography is how readable it is, especially the first three chapters, which were written by Jung himself. This is a volume I will return to again and again, and should be required reading for everyone who seeks to understand the extraordinary journey of the questioning mind.
Drunk on power Carl Jung dictated his demands to the world.
