Man and His Symbols

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, thinker, and the father of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology). Jung's unconventional approach to psychology has had a global impact on the discipline of psychology as well as countercultural movements. Jung is regarded as the first modern psychologist to assert that the human mind is "by nature religious" and to investigate it thoroughly. Analytic Psychology: Its Theory and Practice; Man and His Symbols; Memories, Dreams, Reflections; The Collected Publications of Carl G. Jung; and The Red Book are among his many notable works.

Humanity has relied on dreams for guidance since its inception. But what exactly are they? How can we comprehend them? And how can we apply them to our lives? Carl G. Jung, the great psychologist, may be the best person to answer these concerns. It is through his life's work that the unconscious mind comes to be understood as a vast, rich universe just as essential and real a part of the mind as the conscious, and it interacts with us through our dreams—those personal, integral representations of our deepest selves. Man and His Symbols, a key literature intended expressly for the general reader, is a guide to understanding the symbols in our dreams and applying that knowledge to develop fuller, more receptive lives.

This groundbreaking work, profusely illustrated with hundreds of visual examples, offers invaluable insight into the symbols we dream that demand understanding, why we seek meaning at all, and how these very symbols affect our lives. It is full of fascinating case studies and examples drawn from philosophy, history, myth, fairy tales, and more. Man and His Symbols remains a revelatory, fascinating, and relevant experience decades after its invention by illuminating the methods to evaluate our preconceptions, comprehend psychological meanings, break free from our influences, and recenter our individuality.
