Sort of like a quote a day book for me!
Read
July 19, 2026Jung produced enough ideas for several lifetimes, so a carefully chosen collection is useful for those of us unwilling to excavate an entire volume every time we need one thought about the shadow.
This offers Jung in concentrated form: identity, dreams, relationships, spirituality, suffering and the long process of becoming more fully oneself. Like most collections of wisdom, it works best when read slowly rather than consumed as a sequence of quotable conclusions.
The strongest selections do not simply sound profound. They create the slightly inconvenient suspicion that the trait irritating us most in somebody else may have submitted its paperwork from inside the house.
