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.

blew me away

blew my mind , listened to it twice now as Jung takes some damn thought, I can see myself listening many more times! If anyone else talked like Jung youd say they were crazy , but Jung really does such an excellent job of explaining the unexplained and really pushing human thought as far as it can go without getting all hippy B.S. This book really spoke to me and I will be reading more Jung. I'm just turned 40 and it would be most suitable for people my age or similar. Wonderful narration too.

still actual

Although it's difficult material, I think it's a very special and mindopening document. I think i can re-listen to it again and again and learn something new everytime.

Interesting but challenging listen.

I found the accessibility of the information in this book a challenge. However with effort it has been rewarding and enlightening as to the sources of content of a lot of modern best sellers!

Would I recommend this to a friend: Yes.

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.

Excellent

Jung is a great mind,his work is so profound yet eloquently presented and structured.
beautiful book that everyone should read if you think there is more in life than just the material or objective state of things and seek to know more on the mind and tour awareness .. i recommend you read the dhamma and then read jung.

Great book & narrator.

I've returned to this a few times and listened again.

Highly recommended, a good introduction to Jung's ideas and work, along with Man & His Symbols, also enjoyable to those already familiar with Jung.

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.
