Summary
The Red Book， published to wide acclaim in 2009， contains the nucleus of C。 G。 Jung’s later works。 It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes， the collective unconscious， and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality。 As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times， The creation of one of modern history’s true visionaries， The Red Book is a singular work， outside of categorization。 As an inquiry into what it means to be human， it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung’s place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx， Orwell and， of course， Freud。 The Red Book: A Reader’s Edition features Sonu Shamdasani’s introductory essay and the full translation of Jung’s vital work in one volume。

I passed this book on without finishing it。 The concept of having the opportunity to peek into someone's unconscious through dreams， fantasies， visions and thought processes is an interesting one。 The introductory part of the book， not written by Jung， provided good context and a look into how Jung's academic life in Zurich looked like。 It surely was a mesmerising time。 However， after hyping the book in the introduction， the text itself by Jung was a miss for me。 As before with Jung， I find his I passed this book on without finishing it。 The concept of having the opportunity to peek into someone's unconscious through dreams， fantasies， visions and thought processes is an interesting one。 The introductory part of the book， not written by Jung， provided good context and a look into how Jung's academic life in Zurich looked like。 It surely was a mesmerising time。 However， after hyping the book in the introduction， the text itself by Jung was a miss for me。 As before with Jung， I find his writing difficult to follow。 This text felt like an assembly of random paragraphs where meaning was floating very loosely。 I didn't find the energy and focus needed to get something from this worth my time。 Perhaps I'll return as a more mature reader。 I hope to try a more accessible work by Jung on my next journey to his world。 。。。more

This was bizarre， but taken in the context of everything else I should've seen it coming。 Wild wild shtuff in here。 It's maybe worth reading just to get a， like， lifelong dream journal of a person。 I'd recommend to anyone with a '60s-esque interest in "spirituality" and psychologist/sociologist types， but pretty much it's only Jung fans who will be into this。 I listened to the audiobook， so I'm sure it's much better with the enormous illustrations in the print version （which I hear is amazing）。 This was bizarre， but taken in the context of everything else I should've seen it coming。 Wild wild shtuff in here。 It's maybe worth reading just to get a， like， lifelong dream journal of a person。 I'd recommend to anyone with a '60s-esque interest in "spirituality" and psychologist/sociologist types， but pretty much it's only Jung fans who will be into this。 I listened to the audiobook， so I'm sure it's much better with the enormous illustrations in the print version （which I hear is amazing）。 Sidenote， as a work of scholarship， it's quality。 。。。more

"On this way， no one walks behind me， and I cross no one's path。 I am alone， but I fill my solitariness with my life。 I am man enough， I am noise， conversation， comfort， and help enough unto myself。 And so I wander to the far East。 Not that I know anything about what my distant goal might be。 I see the blue horizons before me: they suffice as a goal。 I hurry toward the East and my rising - I will my rising。"Life changing。 The realest book I've ever read。 It's a collection of journal entries by C "On this way， no one walks behind me， and I cross no one's path。 I am alone， but I fill my solitariness with my life。 I am man enough， I am noise， conversation， comfort， and help enough unto myself。 And so I wander to the far East。 Not that I know anything about what my distant goal might be。 I see the blue horizons before me: they suffice as a goal。 I hurry toward the East and my rising - I will my rising。"Life changing。 The realest book I've ever read。 It's a collection of journal entries by Carl Jung over the course of 16 years and throughout the first World War。 It basically chronicles his journey towards self-realization and his trying to understand himself and his place in the world through inner dialogues and imaginative scenarios。 His vast knowledge of world mythology and his constant references to ancient legends and myths add a thick layer of meaning to the already enchanting dialogues。 What manages to capture me the most however， is the fact that this book was never fundamentally meant to be read by others。 Jung was apparently very apprehensive about letting people read his personal journals when he was still alive， and it wasn't until almost 50 years after his death that this book was finally released to the public。 It shows that he wrote it mainly for himself。 It's brutally honest， deeply personal， vastly more poetic and imaginative than his scholarly work and without a single shred of pretense in any of the words。 This book at its' core is nothing more than an extraordinarily knowledgeable man trying to come to terms with the fundamental questions of his own life and existence， but the way he manages to translate those matters into fantastic stories and poetry is truly inspiring and motivating。 In a world of philosophers trying to define the world around them， it is very refreshing to read about the findings of a man who tried to define himself instead。 。。。more

"The years， of which I have spoken to you， when I pursued the inner images， were the most important time of my life。 Everything else is to be derived from this。" prefaceThe Red Book is a stunning publication。 It is a physically large book which mimics Jung's own handwritten copy which measured 11。57 inches by 15。35 inches。The contents are just as impressive。 The first part is a brief history of Jung and his publications。 The second contains pages of calligraphy in both German and Latin of his "a "The years， of which I have spoken to you， when I pursued the inner images， were the most important time of my life。 Everything else is to be derived from this。" prefaceThe Red Book is a stunning publication。 It is a physically large book which mimics Jung's own handwritten copy which measured 11。57 inches by 15。35 inches。The contents are just as impressive。 The first part is a brief history of Jung and his publications。 The second contains pages of calligraphy in both German and Latin of his "active imagination" visualizations as well as sketches and paintings created by Jung to accompany the text。The last section of the book is the English translation of the second part。"Jung described his technique for inducing such spontaneous fantasies: 'The training consists first of all in systematic exercises to eliminating critical attention， thus producing a vacuum in consciousness。'" pg 209The visions themselves are interactions between Jung and voices or figures that he named his soul， gods and other archetypical figures。"To this my soul spoke a word that roused my anger: 'My light is not of this world。' I cried， "I know of no other world。" The soul answered， "Should it not exist because you know nothing of it？" pg 240As he stated in the preface， Jung felt as if his 'confrontations with his subconscious' affected his work for the rest of his life。 It is a fascinating， little-examined side of a man who has had a huge effect on psychology and is credited， by some， as being one of the leading figures of the New Age movement。The road to publication for this book is a story in itself。 At first， Jung's family carefully kept The Red Book in a safe deposit box to protect it as they recognized its value as a one-of-a-kind creation。 They also believed that Jung wouldn't have wanted its contents made public as he hadn't left any specific instructions in his will about it。However， researchers and scholars have since examined the text and found parts where Jung addresses， "my dear friends，" leading to the opinion that he did intend to share it with a wider audience。 They also point to its importance to Jung's following works as another reason why it should be published。Whatever their reasoning， I'm so very glad his family and foundation made the decision to publish。 This book is a treasure。Curiously， The Red Book ends in an incomplete sentence。Here it is:"I knew of nothing better than to write them down in a 'precious，' that is to say， costly book and to paint the images that emerged through reliving it all- as well as I could。 I knew how frightfully inadequate this undertaking was， but despite much work and many distractions I remained true to it， even if another/possibility never。。。" epilogueI wonder what he was going to write next。Though I didn't use Jung's method of active imagination， I too have undertaken lengthy 'confrontations' of my subconscious and have come back with pages of material that read， in some ways， quite similar to this book。Perhaps， one day， I will also find the courage to publish it。Highly recommended for any readers interested in Carl Jung's methods， archetypes or dream interpretation。 。。。more

This is more directed at the book as it exists now， than as it existed at the time of writing。I hope Jung helped himself by writing this， but I doubt it。 This type of existentialist 'Depth Investigation' is still kicking around today， usually in the form of academics and nu-self-help people who need a little outside wackiness but don't allow themselves to listen to rap music （except perhaps as a quaint little 'foray' mentioned in their weekly bulleted mailing list）。 There's a reason it's （view s This is more directed at the book as it exists now， than as it existed at the time of writing。I hope Jung helped himself by writing this， but I doubt it。 This type of existentialist 'Depth Investigation' is still kicking around today， usually in the form of academics and nu-self-help people who need a little outside wackiness but don't allow themselves to listen to rap music （except perhaps as a quaint little 'foray' mentioned in their weekly bulleted mailing list）。 There's a reason it's （view spoiler）[therapy women （hide spoiler）] and newly-converted extremely online Christians who tend to enjoy this stuff， despite its vague blasphemy—it's all low-effort poetic physics。This genre of existentialist investigation seems to consider itself more important the further it gets from any resonant aesthetics or utility。 It considers itself more honest and 'deeper in the soul' the further it gets from anything resembling signal。 It strikes as desperate pattern-finding for burnt-out people who take a precise stack of vitamins every day and do keto in the flotation tank。 You have to be deeply burnt-out and depressive to enjoy， let alone become religiously-obsessed， with the 'hidden meanings' of such whimsical images。 Mere poetry is sufficient for these people， and they tend to defend this view with the word 'profound'。Is this stuff beautiful to the modern eye？ Not really， unless you're living in 2009 and have not yet encountered the aesthetics of Aleister Crowley， Masonic engravings， post-metal album covers， Neon Genesis Evangelion， etc。 'Alas， the white serpent upon the red angel of the depths of the Nebuchadnezzar of the pyramid of the Beelzebul'。。。 Please， give us something new。 And stop talking about this book。 。。。more

One of the most difficult books I have read， in every sense of the phrase。Jung writes in a way that makes words crack， bend， and sometimes break under the strain of thought （to borrow some lines from Eliot）。 The book itself took 16 years to write。 It took me perhaps half as many months to read， even though there was scarcely a day when I did not read some of it。 This book is not of the sort to inspire a way of life: Far from it， I think it would be very unwise to build one's life around it。 Yet One of the most difficult books I have read， in every sense of the phrase。Jung writes in a way that makes words crack， bend， and sometimes break under the strain of thought （to borrow some lines from Eliot）。 The book itself took 16 years to write。 It took me perhaps half as many months to read， even though there was scarcely a day when I did not read some of it。 This book is not of the sort to inspire a way of life: Far from it， I think it would be very unwise to build one's life around it。 Yet it is a very *arresting* work of art。 It taps into the deep-rooted affinity human beings have for the spiritual--and sometimes teaches lessons through the horror and revulsion that only the spiritual dimension can inspire。 。。。more
