Title: Good survey of Jung's writings, but ...
Product review: if you're unacquainted with Jung (as I was) and are looking for an introduction and overview of his contributions to psychology, then this is going to be a tough read and probably not what you want.Essentially this book contains various writings of Jung which are a sampler, if you will, of the important ideas that he contributed to psychology such as the concepts of the collective unconscious, archetypes, personality types, syncronicity, mandalas, dream interpretation, etc.Be aware that in these writings, Jung is addressing himself to his contemporaries who are well versed in the jargon of psychology.Overall, I learned quite a bit about Jung and his ideas by reading this book but I also feel that I would have benefited more if I had already read some type of layman's guide to Jung's ideas before tackling this book.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
