Human Behavior in Global Perspective
In all of my psychology training, I think Jung came up once. With psychology having moved from psychoanalysis, to the reductionalist approach of behaviorism, then to the study of cognition in the 1960s, and now being propelled by neuroscience/neuropsychology, it might be easy to dismiss Jung's work as archaic. But his insights read more like poetry than any experimental science. Often deep, insightful reflections that add clarity to lofty topics. His reflections here are categorized into sections such as "Recognition of the Psyche, The Archetypes, Youth and Age, Western and Eastern Points of View, The Development of the Personality and The Way to God".
Here's a quote that exemplifies the novel, "Every science is a function of the psyche, and all knowledge is rooted in it. The psyche is the greatest of all cosmic wonders."
I imagine reading Jung's other works will be more structured or more topic-specific. But here you have Jung postulating the nature of man, the drive of our unconscious desires, and our magnetic pull toward transcendence.
It's really quite something.
