Summary: Perfect introduction to Jung
Comment: When a friend introduced this book to me almost 20 years ago, it launched for me, a deep personal interest in the works of Carl Jung. I think this is an excellent book to start out with because it is Jung's telling of his life's story.
Jung explains his early questions about God, his deep curiosity with the human mind, his work with psychotherapy and dreams analysis, and his fascination with the unconscious--which would eventually put him on the path to his life's work.
Through this book, you can see how Jung developed his ideas and you can get a feeling of the passion that he experienced as he made his discoveries. This sense of development is especially helpful because it will lay down a solid foundation for later readings of his other works (such as his collection of lectures that were published in the Bollingen series).
It will also help when you're reading other books about Jung that are not written by Jung. For the past 20 years or so, it has become quite popular to toss around the word 'Jungian'... almost making it a junk adjective like 'psychic' or 'cosmic'... There is a fair amount of misunderstanding about Jung's work. Even within the Jung Institute, you'll find some differences of opinion.
For these reasons, the best place to start is with what Jung *actually* said. Also, if you have a basic knowledge of psychological terminology, this book is fairly easy reading.

Summary: Wisdom from the inner life in Jung's own words
Comment: These writings come straight from Jung's own inner experience and it is his last book before his death in 1961. I have read and re-read this work because at different times in my life I needed to re-evaluate where I was and where I was going. Other books by Jung are more intellectual and scientific, whereas, this autobiography has the wisdom of a person in the later part of life and it was written not so much to teach but to leave with us his legacy. Having myself had a near death experience, I was especially re-affirmed by Jung's own near death experience and his dealings with this phenomenon. His acceptance of his own humanity and his returning from this state to share with us his knowledge and vision is a gift to all of us. It is not easy to return to our humanity and deal with the sufferings we encounter but growth is the only evidence of life. We have to come down from the mountain top and work in the valley. This brings to mind two books written by Hannah Hurnard called Mountains of Spices and Hinds Feet in High Places. Allegories about living our lives with others and not in solitude. Solitude is a wonderful place but if we stay too long we become self-centered, afraid to reach out to others. Another author who gives a good perspective on life is Henri Nouwen and his books Out of Solitude and Reaching Out.

Summary: Pure Genius
Comment: When I first started reading this book, I was highly naïve as to what my possible reactions could be. I never realized that this book would spark an internal flame within me, causing me to yearn for more knowledge and a broader insight into many subjects. It even lead me to come to many realizations about myself and my actions that I could never explain, but turned out to be so true and conclusive.
The extremely difficult vocabulary content did not discourage me one bit, it just made my curiosity grow. Jung amazed me with the beauty of his language choice and writing style and further astonished me with this extensive knowledge on so many various subjects and interesting way of interpreting them. Jung constantly referred to literary works and ideas of other authors and always stressed his references. This was perfect because this was the first book that I've ever willingly read from cover to cover in the psychology field, and it gave me an idea of other books like this one that I could read on topics that I liked and could hand-pick.
The book was most interesting knowing that it was written in autobiography-style and at the end of Jung's life, thus giving myself (the reader) his life-experienced and life-proven philosophies. It was a very difficult read but it was well worth it. I could honestly say that sometimes I just couldn't put it down; and no other book has been able to do that for me.
