In his later years, C. G. Jung sums up the meaning of his life in
the light of his own psychological researches, partly in
conversations recorded, amplified and edited by his secretary and
partly in chapters written by himself on "Childhood and Youth", a
trip to Kenya and Uganda, "Life after Death", and "Late Thoughts".
The influence he ascribes to manifestations of the unconscious on
his own inner development, on the turning-points of his career, and
on his theoretic affirmations will inevitably tend to widen the
rift between him and those who see the unconscious chiefly as the
repository of repressed instincts. To those open to his concept of
the fruitful interaction of the conscious and unconscious, the
book, especially the account of his dreams during his nearly fatal
illness in 1944, will be of tremendous interest. The writing is
simple and direct and makes easy reading wherever the subject
permits. The translation is excellent. Certainly for initiates, a
classic confession from a psychoanalytic pioneer whose concepts
have been largely displaced in modern therapeutic application, but
whose stature remains undiminished. (Kirkus Reviews)
The Frank revelations of the innermost life of one of the greatest explorers of the human mind. A unique document of our own and of all time.
‘Jung’s single-minded humility, his passion to unearth truth, is one of the loveliest impressions to emerge from this absorbing and many-sided book.’
THE TIMES
‘He was on a giant scale … he was a master physician of the soul in his insights, a profound sage in his conclusions. He is also one of Western Man’s great liberators.’
J.B. PRIESTLEY, 'Sunday Telegraph'
‘Can sometimes rise to the heights of a Blake or a Nietzsche or a Kierkegaard … like any true prophet or artist he extended the range of the human imagination … to be able to share Jungian emotions is surely an almost necessary capacity of the free mind.’
PHILIP TOYNBEE, ' Observer'
