Have you ever wanted to know more about the work of Carl Jung but not quite known how to gain access to it? Although Jung writes beautifully in his 18 Volumes of COLLECTED WORKS they are a bit intimidating as a starting point. Jung at Heart: Tools for Psychological Hygiene‘ could well be the gateway you have been looking for. Chapter by chapter it deals with the key concepts that Carl Jung introduced to the world. Words like introvert, extravert, complex, archetype, projection, all already familiar, become more clear in their meaning and gain a new practical application. Using many quotes from Jung’s own writing, thus giving the reader some sense of the man himself, this book is written for the ordinary person and is offered as a toolkit for psychological growth and self-awareness. Psychological hygiene is something we can practice. When we do, we attain a new level of contentment. Understanding ourselves and others more can only enrich us as we explore our own unique place in the world. Jung at Heart‘ is a manual to use on the journey.
