About this listen

An audio edition of the famous Red Book text and essay.

The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality.

As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, The creation of one of modern history's true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.

The Red Book: A Reader's Edition features Sonu Shamdasani's introductory essay and the full translation of Jung's vital work in one audiobook. The Red Book is skillfully narrated by Mike Fraser. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Really happy that they have finally made an audiobook of the Red Book! I think the narrator does a really good job and has a more expressive voice than most audiobook narrators I’ve heard. However, I think it is a bit of a missed opportunity not to have it read by a narrator with a Swiss accent like Jung’s. That would have really added something.

I have to agree with others reviewers here that they should have left out the footnotes in the audiobook version - they really break up the flow of the main text. Perhaps the publisher could release an alternative version without footnotes?

Overall - it’s awesome that they have made this audiobook and I hope there is more to come from this publisher (black books etc).

Update 05/07/21: Impressed that the publisher listened to the feedback regarding the footnotes. Just listened to the new updated version with them removed - so much better. You can now get fully immersed in the reading and it flows beautifully. Good work.

The book wasn’t, what I thought it would be. It is full of allegory and, subliminal self reflection. The mode of the book is one of a crusade into strings of awareness and, realisation.
It’s done in steps with reference to mythology from across the globe the and, cultural aspects of awareness. Geek mythical gods, female priestess / gods of knowledge are present and, man are present that of the self and his thirst of knowledge.
It reminds me of a play broken into Acts.

The alchemy of a mind, insightful and personal to the author.

This is Jung dancing with the shadows. If you dare to peer through its pages, be prepared: it’s like trying to sip the ocean with a tea cup. The audacity! Yet, therein lies the charm.
