review 1: I now know far more about this author than I am really comfortable knowing. That hangup aside, it's well-written, pleasant, and interesting enough. If you don't have anything better to do, it's not a total waste of time.Oh, and the author just *looks* like one of those people I automatically hate, going by the book jacket. So the fact that I still like him...Quit while you're ahead. Yeah.*crickets*
review 2: You know the book that is so good and gripping you can't put it down and you read it one day....yeah this is one of those books. Really funny, utterly honest, and really shows how Jungian psychology really does help and guide a person through life. The author is the son of two Analytical therapists who grew up learning about Jung, and being exposed to m
... moreany authors, including Joseph Campbell. Throughout his life he was able to overcome challenges and be aware of his own psyche by reminding himself of Jung's theories and how he could relate them to himself. This should be read by any student interested in psychology, anyone who doubts the authenticity of Jung's theories and anyone interested in a coming of age story. I really recommend it! less
