"I feel rather differently (far less convinced of its truth and usefulness) about Jung (along with Freud and Lacan) than I used to, but this was still a very interesting catalyst propelling me towards the interests and alignments I'm currently attached to.
I would likely give this two less stars today, but I tend to attempt to rate books according to how I responded to them when I read them initially."
"I learned that Jung is often misquoted or at least misinterpreted in other literature. It gives one a better understanding of Robertson Davies novels. Davies was also a fan of Thomas Mann which is noticable in his book " The Manticore" a part of the Deptford Trilogy."
"I love this book. I even carry it in my purse, because I can always reread sections and get more out of it each time. The introduction by Joseph Campbell was my first exposure to Carl Jung (and Campbell as well). It was very clear and comprehensive, and with Campbell's vast knowledge on mythological matters, thus linking him to analytical psychology to an extent, I trust that the selections of text are some of the best for a good understanding of Jung's theories. It covers his views on marriage, religion, alchemy, etc, and contains his writing that explains some of his most important concepts. Jung's style is even engaging. It has an almost poetic quality, vastly different from Freud's more scientifically based writing. I don't just learn about analytical psychology through this book - Jung often makes allusions to religion or mythology or history, and then I search other sources to know more about what he brought up in passing. Overall, this is an excellent exposure to Jung's writing. The selections aren't so long that they become tedious, but they are long enough to give a decent understanding. From this book, it's easy to figure out which books to turn to next for deeper study."
