My first thought upon reading this book, was that either Jung was a raving lunatic, or I am!

Now, I'll admit that the smart money might be on me, but have you tried following Jungian logic?

Reading this is like watching Monty Python with all the humour removed!
Book wasn't bad; illustrations/cartoons were appreciated. But Jung's whole body of work seems like "hooey" to me. What would make us think that he has things any more right than anyone else? His theories seem complicated, and I don't know how useful they really are in practice. I know that there are many "Jungian" analysts, and therefore many Jungian "analysands." But does this stuff really work? Why? Because of my lack of background in psychology, I'm not qualified, by any stretch of the show more imagination, to say one way or the other. show less
As with most books "for beginners" it is pretty superficial, but can be useful for looking up facts and odd bits of information in a hurry.
