Review # 1 was written on 2019-10-22 00:00:00 David Vivier This is a short biography of Jung that gives a nice synopsis of his life. Woven throughout are excerpts from the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching, because Taoism helped Jung recover from the severing of his relationship with Freud. Taoism is about the reconciling of opposites. Jung's personality typology theory developed from his study of Taoism. I was also very intrigued to learn that Jung discussed synchronicity with Einstein and Einstein confirmed that the innovative theories in modern physics could apply to the realm of the psyche as well.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-02-02 00:00:00 Joseph Cullen A really interesting book. I learned a lot about the life of Jung and his personal philosophical and intellectual journey. The only drawback is that the book reads a little too much like a love letter to Jung - I felt that it really glossed over the weaker parts of his personality (i.e. consistently cheating on his wife) in a way that did a disservice to the complexity of who he actually was.
