Psychology of the Unconscious

Story
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 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.

Story
Continuing where Thus Spoke Zarathustra left off, Nietzsche's controversial work Beyond Good and Evil is one of the most influential philosophical texts of the 19th century and one of the most controversial works of ideology ever written. Attacking the notion of morality as nothing more than institutionalised weakness, Nietzsche criticises past philosophers for their unquestioning acceptance of moral precepts. Nietzsche tried to formulate what he called "the philosophy of the future".

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.

A graphic and biting polemic that still holds a fierce political relevance and impact despite being written over half a century ago. First published in 1937 it charts George Orwell's observations of working-class life during the 1930s in the industrial heartlands of Yorkshire and Lancashire. His depictions of social injustice and rising unemployment, the dangerous working conditions in the mines amid general squalor and hunger also bring together many of the ideas explored in his later works and novels.

A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

This is a dry listen - be prepared to focus
I knew this wasn't going to be a light listening book going in, but wow this requires a lot of intense concentration. I sometimes forgot a point or thesis that was made and 5 minutes later the topic of discussion was still referring to that point and I couldn't make any useful connections. Very challenging. Not quite what I thought it would be. Very academic reading.
Also, the narrator does not do a great job of keeping you engaged, it's all up to you. Make sure you drink your coffee before this one.

very fascinating perspectives. Hard to follow the reader, his voice is actually robotic at times. I read similar reviews, but thought it would be easier to stick with. Sometimes I don't even want to listen because his voice detracts from the content.

It’s Jung. It’s worth it.
There were times when I questioned if I was listening to a human narrator or an AI generated voice. This detracted from the enjoyment of listening to Jung’s thoughts but not enough that I wouldn’t recommend the listen.

I cannot imagine a path in personal development in wich this book will go unnoticed. If a person wishes to understand themselves and therefore the human condition C.G.Jung is a great entry. this book is a huge asset to any psychology student, or readers. There is a lot to take in. I definitely recommend having a notebook nearby.
the narration could be a bit slower.

Great material but not well read.
I am truly enlightened by Jung’s work. I listened three times, so far. Lack of enthusiasm and expression detracted from the presentation.. The reader did not seem to have taken the work seriously. Thank you for making this book available in this form. I found that by listening to the text being read, I could concentrate on the content and pronunciation, which when reading it myself, I had missed.

Immensely Valuable Book
I truly enjoyed this book, hearing it read was great for understanding concepts. However, the speakers voice was easy to dismiss. His speaking was clear and concise, but it just lulled me / morphed into white noise at points. I had to rewind several times due to getting distracted. Compared to the other Carl Jung books which heavily drew me in based off the enthusiasm of the speaker, this book took longer to complete based off that.

a good introductory collection
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would recommend this to anyone who's seeking a basic familiarity with what Jung was going after. While some basic familiarity with Freud and Addler before hand would be helpful, he puts his references in enough context that they're not required, and these lectures can and do stand on their own.
What did you like best about this story?
In the first few lectures, Jung focuses primarily on the therapeutic process. Over time, we begin to see just how deep his theory goes, and that his idea of "therapy" is nothing less than the completion of man as himself. I found this progression to be incredibly easy to follow and to show how a clinical psychologist can make this move into the philosophical.
Have you listened to any of Christopher Prince’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I've not heard any of Prince's other performances. I found him to be a little monotone (ala Ben Stein) and some of the accents weren't where I would have thought to put them, but his pronunciation was clean, his delivery crisp, and despite the somewhat academic tone, I would certainly be willing to listen to other texts he's narrated.

Between literary analysis, archetypes, Joseph Campbell, and Jordan B Peterson, I can't believe it has taken me this long to actually read/listen o Jung himself. Wealth of insights and well-explained. I took a lot of notes.

WOW ... why wasn't I exposed to Jung much earlier?
Would you consider the audio edition of Modern Man in Search of a Soul to be better than the print version?
Personally yes because I struggle with finding time to sit down and digest something like this without loosing interest or falling asleep. With audio version I can listen while taking a hike, mowing the lawn or doing chores
Who was your favorite character and why?
The biggest thing that struck me was Jung's way of combining spiritual, scientific and philosophical. I LOVE IT! I think this is the closest to an all inclusive approach as I have ever heard, much better than "modern" cognitive behavioral therapy (aka "talk therapy") or a strict medical/prescription approach. The only way to really change is to dig into the subconscious and bring those shadows to light!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
YES, no I did not cry or laugh but the "AH-HA" were nearly constant for me throughout the book. I stumbled onto Jung because it felt like every other author I have been interested in lately quotes or credits Jung in their own work ... so I finally went to the source! I am a definite Jungian thinker versus Freudian.

Brilliant book, Bad narration; get it in print
I love this book so far, but ended up buying a print copy because the narration is very monotone and hard to listen to. The content is fascinating and brilliantly presented by Jung, but is also very heavy and as it is directed at an academic audience. So with lackluster narration so it comes off as very dry (even though it’s not) and is hard to listen to and follow. I found I was absorbing the info much better reading it.

Brilliant treatise on the development of the mind
What made the experience of listening to Modern Man in Search of a Soul the most enjoyable?
Im fascinated by classic literature and great philosophic works. I did not know what to expect, having no education on Jungian philosophy and perspective on psychoanalysis, but this is an amazing work. His deconstruction of dream analysis and development of social taboos is really worth listening to, as well as reading. I'm adding this book to my library.
The reader is clear and expresses the material extremely well. I'm going to look for more he's narrated.
What other book might you compare Modern Man in Search of a Soul to and why?
Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance -it's deconstructive point of view and the ease of accessibility of the topics.
Any additional comments?
Audible is a terrific service for hungry readers without much free time.

As Useful Today as it was in 1933
Where does Modern Man in Search of a Soul rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
One of my favorites. Jung is a true mystic and scientist. His words are as relevant today as they were 80 years ago. This is a must for anyone interested in the state of Modern Man (and I absolutely mean everyone who is interested in TODAY)
What other book might you compare Modern Man in Search of a Soul to and why?
I would suggest reading James Hillman a man of true insight.
Have you listened to any of Christopher Prince’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No
Any additional comments?
I suggest that this book is worth listening to at least twice as it is so full of wisdom.
