Summary

Carl Jung was one of the 20th century’s most significant psychological theorists. He developed concepts we use every day - introverts and extroverts chief among them. Mark Vernon’s eight-part book explores some of Jung’s key ideas and also looks at his relationship with the other giant of the mind - Sigmund Freud.

The How to Believe series of books explores the teachings, philosophies, and beliefs of major thinkers and religious texts. In a short, easy-to-access format, leading writers present new understandings of these perennially important ideas.

Great Read

This is a simplified explanation/intro into understanding Carl Jung and his work. It does not take long to go through. I've listened to it about 3 times - in a day! This is an indication of not only the great content produced, but also the smooth reading by the narrated. There are certainly different food for thought to ponder hereupon.

Great insight into Jung and his encounters with Freud. A different perspective on his life.

Doesn't answer the question

I enjoyed listening to this short introduction to the man behind the theories but the title is a little misleading

Fantastic introduction to Jung

An excellent introduction to the brilliant Carl Jung. The short book has a bit of his biography, his relationship with Freud, the current relevance of his ideas and his views on religion. I think the short book is just perfect to induce some thought memes and gets you do some serious thinking.
