"I really liked the first three sections of this book, really an overview of Jung's ideas, but I didn't like the last section (on symbolism in art). I have taken art history classes and I draw and paint and I still found it very boring."
"This is one of the first books I bought when I was about 14 and living in a culturally void Appalachian town. Was my first contact with stuff I wanted to think about other than suicide."
"Who isn't fascinated by the subconscious? I sort of imagine that even before the modern pop psychology phenomenon, people were doing more or less the same thing.
It's pretty fun stuff. The subconscious seems to have endless capacity to produce dramatic scenarios and freaky associations. And all to good purpose, Jung assures us.
The book's tendency to overgeneralize about essential human desires and motivations kept me from giving it the full five stars."
"Thinly disguised Christian rubbish. Shockingly irrational at times; of course, Jung can get away with any unfounded cognitive leaps because in the text he emphasizes spontaneity over reason. Does such a sentiment unconsciously hide his own difficulties in creating a well-structured, coherent argument? Or am I being too Freudian?"
