Man and his Symbols
Essential Jung
Modern Man in Search of a Soul
I found a lot Jung's work kind of hard to accept except the occasional poetic truth, but YMMV.
Die Logik ist keine Lehre, sondern ein Spiegelbild der Welt. Die Logik ist transcendental. - Wittgenstein
Man and His Symbols is written for a general audience and is interesting reading.
Yep, it's almost a 'primer' of Jung. Very good.
All lives end. All hearts are broken. Caring is not an advantage. Mycroft Holmes
I am not programmed to harm human beings. Baymax
I found Jung's work extremely accessible after getting some sort of grip on Joseph Campbell's (religious) and Immanuel Kant's (philosophical) work.
Really, if you just accept that you possess animalistic instincts and trusting those instincts is healthy then you've pretty much gotten down to the meat of Jung's ideas.
But don't take my word for it explore Jung's work for yourself. It's actually fun reading if reading is fun for you.
What's the difference? It's just soda, bro.
