I think Carl Jung was good at being a therapist, and Sigmund Freud wasn't good at it, though he's also not some horrible monster in my eyes just as well. That said I probably have to give one and the same level criticism to both recent things I've read by either man. Someday, this book may be considered too pseudo-scientific to read; at least, not very profitably to anyone studying the mind, and it's because Freud's influence itself was pseudo-scientific. I'm able to follow along nicely at the beginning of each essay. Then, Jung's writerly mood transmogrïforms into what could in later history be termed "psychedelic," and he gets my attention-span lost entirely. It's okay to say that works from history are hard-to-read because they have are confusing outside of their context, and not because the authors, brilliant as they are, must be unknowable and unfathomable supermen. Support the little guys instead. Shop open source. Peace out, and love everyone. Finally. The universe? It's a vibe.
