Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 257
From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

The Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud is one of the most significant books of the 20th century. Though dreams and their role in human consciousness have been a continuing thread in religion and art and life down the centuries, Freud's look at the subject through the prism of his emerging practice and study of psychoanalysis provided a startlingly new and challenging perspective.

Science starts to get interesting when things don'’t make sense. Even today, there are experimental results that the most brilliant scientists can neither explain nor dismiss. In the past, similar anomalies have revolutionised our world: in the 16th century, a set of celestial irregularities led Copernicus to realise that the Earth goes around the sun and not the reverse. In 13 Things That Don'’t Make Sense, Michael Brooks meets thirteen modern-day anomalies that may become tomorrow'’s breakthroughs.

We now see that this great cathedral of a book not only commemorates those massed victims but celebrates the unquenched spirit of resistance that flickered and then burst into flame even in Stalin's "special camps."

Classic book, likely forgotten this days,
- By Mr. M. Piotrowicz on 24-07-17
Summary
Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the classic introduction to the thought of Carl Jung. Along with Freud and Adler, Jung was one of the chief founders of modern psychiatry. In this book, Jung examines some of the most contested and crucial areas in the field of analytical psychology: dream analysis, the primitive unconscious, and the relationship between psychology and religion.

Deep, timeless and inspiring
This book will have you turning over it's ideas in your free time. 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.

Great, insightful work..
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!!) and I found it distracted me when I can came to re-listen to the book. 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.

Incredible
beautifully read, beautifully written. 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.

Brilliantly Insightful and Thought provoking
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 good introductory collection
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to anyone who's seeking a basic familiarity with what Jung was going after. While some basic familiarity with Freud and Addler before hand would be helpful, he puts his references in enough context that they're not required, and these lectures can and do stand on their own.
What did you like best about this story?
In the first few lectures, Jung focuses primarily on the therapeutic process. Over time, we begin to see just how deep his theory goes, and that his idea of "therapy" is nothing less than the completion of man as himself. I found this progression to be incredibly easy to follow and to show how a clinical psychologist can make this move into the philosophical.
Have you listened to any of Christopher Prince’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've not heard any of Prince's other performances. I found him to be a little monotone (ala Ben Stein) and some of the accents weren't where I would have thought to put them, but his pronunciation was clean, his delivery crisp, and despite the somewhat academic tone, I would certainly be willing to listen to other texts he's narrated.

WOW ... why wasn't I exposed to Jung much earlier?
Would you consider the audio edition of Modern Man in Search of a Soul to be better than the print version?
Personally yes because I struggle with finding time to sit down and digest something like this without loosing interest or falling asleep. With audio version I can listen while taking a hike, mowing the lawn or doing chores
Who was your favorite character and why?
The biggest thing that struck me was Jung's way of combining spiritual, scientific and philosophical. I LOVE IT! I think this is the closest to an all inclusive approach as I have ever heard, much better than "modern" cognitive behavioral therapy (aka "talk therapy") or a strict medical/prescription approach. The only way to really change is to dig into the subconscious and bring those shadows to light!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
YES, no I did not cry or laugh but the "AH-HA" were nearly constant for me throughout the book. I stumbled onto Jung because it felt like every other author I have been interested in lately quotes or credits Jung in their own work ... so I finally went to the source! I am a definite Jungian thinker versus Freudian.
Any additional comments?
Top 10 of the 100 books or so I have read in the past 2 years!

Between literary analysis, archetypes, Joseph Campbell, and Jordan B Peterson, I can't believe it has taken me this long to actually read/listen o Jung himself. Wealth of insights and well-explained. I took a lot of notes.

Why did I wait so long to listen to this book?
Where does Modern Man in Search of a Soul rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
That's my only regret: not listening sooner. This is one of those books that make a mark in your way of thinking about the state of humanity today.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Modern Man in Search of a Soul?
If you ever doubted you had a soul, this book will make you think again. But if you never doubted you had a soul, this book will make you appreciate it from a different perspective.
Which scene was your favorite?
Jung's comparison and contrast between psychology and religion supported some of the ideas I already had lingering in my own mind. This portion also opened some new questions, that still need to be answered.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
There is a portion of this book that moved me so that it still surfaces in conversations, long after finishing the book: that's the portion of the role parents have in the psychological development of adult persons.

As Useful Today as it was in 1933
Where does Modern Man in Search of a Soul rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of my favorites. Jung is a true mystic and scientist. His words are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago. This is a must for anyone interested in the state of Modern Man (and I absolutely mean everyone who is interested in TODAY)
What other book might you compare Modern Man in Search of a Soul to and why?
I would suggest reading James Hillman a man of true insight.
Have you listened to any of Christopher Prince’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Any additional comments?
I suggest that this book is worth listening to at least twice as it is so full of wisdom.

Brilliant treatise on the development of the mind
What made the experience of listening to Modern Man in Search of a Soul the most enjoyable?
Im fascinated by classic literature and great philosophic works. 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.
What other book might you compare Modern Man in Search of a Soul to and why?
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance -it's deconstructive point of view and the ease of accessibility of the topics.
Any additional comments?
Audible is a terrific service for hungry readers without much free time.
