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 reader 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 reader.

Product description

Review

"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 firsat 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

"Straighforward 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

Book Description

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.

What is this? A book for ants?

21 October 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

The contents of the book is 5 stars all the way. The information in the book is great. The print could be smaller, but then you'd need a microscope. I've read a lot of mass market paperback books and my eyesight is 20/20 but this has to be the smallest print I've seen besides maybe a pocket Bible. It's almost unreadable in my opinion. If you have any trouble seeing or just hate tiny print like I do, then I'd recommend another version of this in a larger format.

Photo included: This book is the one shown inside the other mass market paperback book (with larger font and better spacing.) To show the contrast between this publication and others.

A Solid Introduction to Archetypes and the Unconscious Mind

16 September 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Man and His Symbols is a collaborative work between legendary psychologist Carl Jung and four of his associates. Within this book his associates seek to step down many of his complex topics so as to be accessible to the reader who is not specialized in psychology, the unconscious mind, and archetypes. This was the final work Carl Jung had undertaken prior to his death.

One of the greatest insights I had received from this book is that such activities as dream analysis are not concrete activities. There are not any hard and fast rules for performing this type of activity. Dreams vary by the individual and may take years of work to unravel their meaning. Such analysis requires a deeper intuitive understanding of human nature, the unconscious mind, archetypes, and symbolism.

Overall this is a great book to become acquainted with symbology and the inner workings of the unconscious mind. Even though Man and His Symbols does serve its purpose as an introductory text, it is far from basic. Even with the attempt to step down Carl Jung’s work by his associates, there is much complexity within this book which will require several readings in order to pierce through the underlying meaning. Also, Man and His Symbols will continue to serve as a useful reference for archetypes and symbols in general well past the first reading.

Probably the best place to start to learn about Jung's work

18 July 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

I read a smattering of Jung back in the day (70's-80's) but overlooked this one. It stands on its own and I would say it is a good place to start for the average reader. Not uniformly good - some Jung practitioners are pretty head-bound - but the chapters by Jung and von Franz are really superb.

I enjoyed this book somewhat

13 February 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Most of this book is not Carl Jung. The book has a few parts to it, most of which are written by Jung's apprentices/students. The book (all parts) are interesting and ethereal. Conceptually taxing enough to wear the reader down but short enough to not make it an impossible marathon. I was looking for the collective unconsciousness of man that builds over time. I enjoyed this book somewhat, but not 5 stars for me.

A treasure

25 August 2017 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Very pleased to have this gently used edition. This was written near the end of his life and I believe his only effort to address to laymen his most significant concepts regarding symbols. Only the first chapter is written by him, the rest was left in the hands of his trusted disciples following his outline for the scope of the book. It is a rather dense read, but well worth the time and effort. I had heard of this several years ago, but never found it in any book store, not even used book stores so I'm delighted to finally have a copy!
