Its a random assortment of stuff - kind of a "spare parts" modge podge anthology - but its mostly very interesting and very good - lower rating than most, because alot of it was rather obscure to me, but that with which I'd had previous experience was very interesting. I love how really cutting edge and ahead of his time (by about 50 years) Jung was.
