Publisher's summary

Carl Jung was one of the 20th century’s most significant psychological theorists. He developed concepts we use every day - introverts and extroverts chief among them. Mark Vernon’s eight-part book explores some of Jung’s key ideas and also looks at his relationship with the other giant of the mind - Sigmund Freud.

The How to Believe series of books explores the teachings, philosophies, and beliefs of major thinkers and religious texts. In a short, easy-to-access format, leading writers present new understandings of these perennially important ideas.

Very Provocative

More than one point made me audibly say "huh" which says a lot since I am a self-diagnosed introvert connecting so strongly that I speak! haha 😂

Amazing short collection of thoughts on Jung

This has inspired me to get so many books. Some by Mark Vernon, some by Jung, and some by Pauli. This is all the foundation of the interest in my chosen work. Thank you!!!

pretty darn Good

i have now read (with my ears) a whole bunch of these brief surveys of this or that Thinker or period of time.... And this is definitely one of the better ones. paul strathern's '...In 90 Minutes' books TEND to be so full of his peculiar biases and his (albeit often quite witty) snark that when he clearly dislikes his particular subject, i find them nearly un-listen-to-able. (his 'Hegel in 90 Minutes' is a shining example of this phenomenon.) ..... but THIS short intro to Jung is warm,... friendly to Jung and his Thinking without being groveling or hagiographic. i genuinely felt uplifted by it..... toward the end --- his discussion of Jung's VITAL and somewhat, dare i say, *Synchronistic* FOUNDATIONAL role in the creation of Alcoholics Anonymous, i found to be REALLY something ........ ESPECIALLY since, as a "Friend of Bill W" for about a year now AND a pretty hard-core Jung-lover, i had NO CLUE that it was Carl Jung's entreaty to his patient, Rowland H, that was more-or-less THE seed that brought AA into eventual existence --- Uh. MAYzing!

Very good summarization of Jung

Was easy to listen to and follow along with. Didn’t complicate his work and touched base on some good stuff Jung worked on

Skeleton key to your mind, if it is ready to be unlocked

A keyhole and a telescope all at once. Highly in lighting primer on Jung. There is much to digest in this short book. A tasty platter of intellectual tidbits for the hunger mind and thirsty soul.

Introduce to Carl Jung

I have a MS in psychology and I still learned several details I hadn’t know about Carl Jung.

A good biography and intro to Jung.

Originally I thought this was a book BY Jung, but instead is more of a biography/ introduction into who he was and his philosophies. Excellently narrated and highly insightful 59 minutes. I am considering listening again.
