Story
This collection of 11 wide-ranging lectures which appeared originally in 1933, was based on lectures previously given when Jung was in the process of absorbing a considerable period of study of Eastern religions, Gnosticism and other religious sources. It was a time, according to the translator Cary F. Baynes, ‘when the Western world stands on the verge of a spiritual rebirth...after a long period of outward expansion, we are beginning to look inside ourselves once more.’

Published first in 1912, Psychology of the Unconscious was one of the most important stepping stones in the development of Jung’s thought and practice. It has a long subtitle: A Study of the Transformations and Symbolisms of the Libido. A Contribution to the History of the Evolution of Thought. This expressed the underlying impetus - a break from the view of the libido and its functions as taught by Sigmund Freud, which Jung had earlier adopted. It was from this point that the two approaches, which came to be known as the Swiss and Viennese schools, emerged.

The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Erich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung's most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent.

Jung's discovery of the 'collective unconscious', a psychic inheritance common to all humankind, transformed the understanding of the self and the way we interpret the world. In On the Nature of the Psyche Jung describes this remarkable theory in his own words, and presents a masterly overview of his theories of the unconscious, and its relation to the conscious mind. Also contained in this collection is On Psychic Energy, where Jung defends his interpretation of the libido, a key factor in the breakdown of his relations with Freud.

The Psychopathology of Everyday Life, which appeared first in 1901 and was then expanded in a series of subsequent editions, has proved to be one of Freud's most popular works, and one of his most influential during his lifetime. It was here that he proposed that many slips and errors of memory common to the average man in everyday life actually signals unconscious issues that beset the individual, and, if examined, can be extremely revealing.

Summa Theologica consists of three main parts. The second part is divided two, and this recording presents Prima Secundae - Part I of Part II. Taken in its entirety, Summa Theologica forms an essential contribution to the canon of Catholic doctrine and was written in the last decade of his life by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), an Italian-born Dominican friar. Although he died before completing it, the body of thought it contains is a continuing influence to the education and guidance of students of theology in the main Christian traditions.

This series of 28 lectures was given by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939), the founder of psychoanalysis, during the First World War and first published in English in 1920. The purpose of this general introduction was to present his work and ideas - as they had matured at that point - to a general public; and even though there was to be considerable development and change over the ensuing years, these talks still offer a valuable and remarkably approachable entry point to his revolutionary concepts.

Secunda Secundae is the longest part in this immense undertaking by Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274). His purpose was nothing less than to survey the theological teachings of the Catholic Church, while absorbing, controversially for his time, many other strands of learning and philosophy, varying from ancient Greek (particularly Aristotle) to Muslim writers (Averroes and Avicenna) and the Sephardic Jewish philosopher Moses Maimonides.

Story
Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) is remembered as the father of psychoanalysis. Civilization and Its Discontents (1930) is one of his key works, written three decades after his seminal book The Interpretation of Dreams. In it he considers the conflict between the needs of the individual acting both egotistically and altruistically in the pursuit of happiness and the myriad demands of civilised society and the ensuing tensions this clash of needs and demands generates.
Written by: Sigmund Freud
Publisher's Summary
Man and His Symbols owes its existence to one of Jung's own dreams. The great psychologist dreamed that his work was understood by a wide public, rather than just by psychiatrists, and therefore he agreed to write and edit this fascinating book. Here, Jung examines the full world of the unconscious, whose language he believed to be the symbols constantly revealed in dreams. Convinced that dreams offer practical advice, sent from the unconscious to the conscious self, Jung felt that self-understanding would lead to a full and productive life. Thus, the listener will gain new insights into himself from this thoughtful volume, which also illustrates symbols throughout history. Completed just before his death by Jung and his associates, it is clearly addressed to the general listener.
Praise for Man and His Symbols:
“This book, which was the last piece of work undertaken by Jung before his death in 1961, provides a unique opportunity to assess his contribution to the life and thought of our time, for it was also his first attempt to present his life-work in psychology to a non-technical public.... What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general understanding of man in society, by insisting that imaginative life must be taken seriously in its own right, as the most distinctive characteristic of human beings.” (Guardian)
“Straightforward to read and rich in suggestion.” (John Barkham, Saturday Review Syndicate)
“This book will be a resounding success for those who read it.” (Galveston News-Tribune)
“A magnificent achievement.” (Main Currents)
“Factual and revealing.” (Atlanta Times)

Jung and golf balls.
Jung is a golf ball…a million different dimples around the sphere of the whole, and each leading to the center of wholeness, meaning and purpose.
Man and His Symbols is a great dimple or two worth of introduction to Jung, a little combo platter of mouth-watering appetizers to whet one’s appetite for exploration if the Unconscious and one’s own offerings from the unconscious.
Warning, though, this is not a golf ball that will ever be hit straight and kept predictably on the fairway. One must relish, or at least tolerate, playing from the rough and miring in traps. Sam Clemens might say Jung turns a spoiled walk back into a good one. Sinking the ball in the cup turns out to be of little importance in the golf game of Jung, but experiencing the wilds, roughs and traps of the Forbidden Forest of the Unconscious with the aim of wholeness and meaning is the whole point. It is a game of mulligans or, as Alfred Hitchcock, who loved golf, might say, a game of MacGuffins.
Enter the Unconscious at your own risk, for here there be dragons…though this is a great entryway to that danger!
To continue the literary circular braided Celtic associations, “Lead on McDuff!”

Wonderful book, wonderful narration
Long interested in Jung and his approach to psychology and therapy. This is a central introductory text. The narrator has clear and pleasant diction, obviously interested in and attentive to what he is reading and had a friendly tone of voice.

good start to Jung, not all written by Jung
Jung writes the first chapter, the rest are collaborators with Jung. I think it fulfills its purpose of introducing the reader to Jungian ideas behind his psychoanalysis. I'm not an analyst, but the impact these ideas have made on modern thought can't be overstated.

Bought the Book years ago, audio book helps
So the novel is basically a casual readers guide to understanding the archetypes, the shadow, and the Anima of the human psyche. The First three parts had my attention, Part Four is interesting about how art manifest from the The Stone, The Animal, and The Circle. Part Five is a filler chapter, which can be summarized in the last page of said chapter. it's act more of an application. Had to buy the audio book because to remain focus on the material and speed through what could of been hours, compressed into minutes of reading material.

I’d prefer a different narrator.
The content is quite interesting. The narration is loathsome, dry, and annoying. Not trying to be mean. One would think the English accent would spice it up. Wrong, the guy has a monotone. Puts me to sleep.

Complex ideas simplified format.
Complex ideas presented in a simplified understandable format. Carl Jung is one of the most difficult scientists to understand and is famously unwilling to compromise on the complexity of his ideas. For these reasons and more he is difficult to understand.
The purpose if this book is to make Jung's ideas more approachable for the every day reader.

extraordinary presentation of the Unconscious part of our mind
we a aware primarily of our wakened conscious mind, but our unconscious mind may well be the larger part of our being in its entirety as an energetic consciousness. so it's well worth the exploration as it can support and uplift our conscious mind
