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".

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.

A vast canvas of camps, prisons, transit centres and secret police, of informers and spies and interrogators but also of everyday heroism, The Gulag Archipelago is Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's grand masterwork. Based on the testimony of some 200 survivors, and on the recollection of Solzhenitsyn's own 11 years in labour camps and exile, it chronicles the story of those at the heart of the Soviet Union who opposed Stalin, and for whom the key to survival lay not in hope but in despair.

Ordinary Men is the true story of Reserve Police Battalion 101 of the German Order Police, which was responsible for mass shootings as well as round-ups of Jewish people for deportation to Nazi death camps in Poland in 1942. Browning argues that most of the men of RPB 101 were not fanatical Nazis but, rather, ordinary middle-aged, working-class men who committed these atrocities out of a mixture of motives, including the group dynamics of conformity, deference to authority, role adaptation, and the altering of moral norms to justify their actions.

Story5 out of 5 stars 7
In this 1912 work, Jung seeks to find symbolic meaning and purpose behind a given set of symptoms within the larger context of the psyche. It examines the fantasies of a patient whose vivid and poetic mental images enabled Jung to redefine libido as psychic energy which arises from the unconscious to manifest itself consciously in symbolic form. The work marks a theoretical divergence between Jung and Freud on the nature of the libido.

A graphic and biting polemic that still holds a fierce political relevance and impact despite being written over half a century ago. First published in 1937 it charts George Orwell's observations of working-class life during the 1930s in the industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire. His depictions of social injustice and rising unemployment, the dangerous working conditions in the mines amid general squalor and hunger also bring together many of the ideas explored in his later works and novels.

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've heard so many references to Jung and in particular this book, after realising listening to such a heavy read would be much easier than gruelling over the pages I went for it. The topics covered were much more interesting and broader than I could have anticipated. Voiced well and at a perfect pace and tone. I will be listening to this again soon to take it all in. Definitely worth the time to listen to such great work.

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

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!

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.

Brilliant book, Bad narration; get it in print
I love this book so far, but ended up buying a print copy because the narration is very monotone and hard to listen to. The content is fascinating and brilliantly presented by Jung, but is also very heavy and as it is directed at an academic audience. So with lackluster narration so it comes off as very dry (even though it’s not) and is hard to listen to and follow. I found I was absorbing the info much better reading it.

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.

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.

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.
