The landmark text about the inner workings of the unconscious
mind--from the symbolism that unlocks the meaning of our dreams to their
effect on our waking lives and artistic impulses--featuring more than a
hundred updated images that break down Carl G. Jung's revolutionary
ideas
"What emerges with great clarity from the book is that Jung has done
immense service both to psychology as a science and to our general
understanding of man in society."--The Guardian
"Our psyche is part of nature, and its enigma is limitless."
Since our inception, humanity has looked to dreams for guidance. But
what are they? How can we understand them? And how can we use them to
shape our lives?
There is perhaps no one more equipped to answer these questions than the
legendary psychologist Carl G. Jung. It is in his life's work that the
unconscious mind comes to be understood as an expansive, rich world that
is just as vital and true as the conscious mind, and it is in our
dreams--those integral expressions of our deepest selves--that the
unconscious communicates itself to us.
*
Man and His Symbols* offers us invaluable insight into the symbols we
dream that demand understanding, into how they affect our lives, and
into why we seek meaning in them at all. It is a seminal text, written
explicitly for the general reader, full of fascinating case studies and
examples pulled from a variety of surprising sources, that proves to
be--decades after its conception--a relevatory, absorbing, and relevant
experience.
