author: C. G. Jung
description: <b>"One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2016"</b><br /><br />"This well-structured collection of Jung quotations is intended primarily as an introduction to the psychoanalyst's work, though even those who are more knowledgeable will find it useful for inspirational browsing. . . . This work surpasses the previously most comprehensive collection of Jung's quotations." (<i>Choice</i>)<br /><br />"A simple and clear introduction to many of Jung's ideas and works."<b>---Amanda Izenstark, <i>ARBA</i></b><br /><br />"An ideal resource for anyone seeking to find Jung's most fertile ideas succinctly and powerfully stated."<b>John Beebe, author of <i>Integrity in Depth</i></b><br /><br />"This comprehensive selection of quotations provides a pathway into the complex world of Jung's thought while never reducing his ideas to oversimplified formulas. <i>The Quotable Jung</i> is an extremely useful volume for anyone coming to Jung for the first time."<b>Paul Bishop, author of <i>Reading Goethe at Midlife: Ancient Wisdom, German Classicism, and Jung</i></b><br /><br />"Brings all of Jung's ideas together in brilliant form. . . . [<i>The Quotable Jung</i>] plucks out Jung's best moments of clarity and organizes them in a way that makes Jung accessible to the uninitiated. . . . Unlike most compendiums, the selected quotes build on one another, providing a logical succession of ideas. One could read the book from cover to cover and acquire an advanced understanding of Jung's entire opus."<b>Andrew Ladd,<i>First Things</i></b>
