Summary
'I can understand myself only in the light of inner happenings. It is these that make up the singularity of my life, and with these my autobiography deals.' (Carl Gustav Jung)
In 1957, four years before his death, Carl Gustav Jung, psychiatrist and psychologist, began writing his life story. But what started as an exercise in autobiography soon morphed into an altogether more profound undertaking. The result is an absorbing piece of self-analysis: a frank statement of faith, philosophy and principles from one of the great explorers of the human mind.
Covering everything from Sigmund Freud, analytical psychology and Jungian dream interpretation to a forthright discussion of world myths and religions, including Christianity, Buddhism and other religions, these final reflections on an extraordinary life are a fitting coda to the work of Carl Gustav Jung. It was Jung who observed and named key human characteristics such as the introvert, the extrovert, the animus, the anima, and other concepts such as archetypes (the wise old man, the mother), the collective unconscious, the complex and many more.
His studies took him into many fields - religion, anthropology, archeology and literature - which instructed his clinical work. This extraordinary breadth gave him views of humanity and culture that still resonate deeply.
Memories, Dreams, Reflections is a remarkable document showing a man of great depth, humility and perspicacity. Once heard, it is never forgotten.
Aniela Jaffé's introduction is read by Elizabeth Proud.

A genius reflection
Brilliantly insightful, an illuminating, engrossing and enlightening listen.
I moved from Jordan Petersons work to this and I have found it to further cement my understanding. Jung binds archetypal ideas, superstition, personal experience, theology, philosophy and psychology into a staggering elucidation upon the meaning of life.

CG Jung was an original thinker and clairvoyant who could meld his logic and visions to help elaborate on the nature of God, the universe and reality. His answer is more interesting than Pratchett's and though difficult to follow at times is well worth the effort. Narrator is easy on the ear which helps too.

interesting tho largely incomprehensible.
Not being a philosopher or theologian has some disadvantages when reading this book. however as a therapist reading the personal account of the writer existing in different states of consciousness, whether being part of the shared reality of the world or a symbolic dream like state that is commonly understood as psychosis, but interpreted by Jung as the large, usually unconscious state, however full of shared symbolism, is fascinating. it is a very unusually uninhibited way of perceiving altered states of consciousness.

Jung is a fascinating man
It's hard to keep up with Jung, his exploration of the psyche goes waaaay deep and his understanding of the human condition is almost unparalleled. Crazy to consider that he went down these paths more than a hundred years ago and without much by way of guidance in the field. Wonderful life story, exceptional insights. What a book

Brilliant!
A fascinating insight into a great mind. Loved every minute and the narration was pleasing and easy to listen too. Made me believe I was listening directly to Jung.

Jung's most complete work
For someone's most reflective and insightful work to come in the form of Memoirs may seem out of expectation, however, Jung reflects upon a lifetime of treatment and philosophical ponderings to form a truly penetrating overall body of thought.
Jung ponders upon the nature of the collective unconscious, God, theological doctrines, man's relationships with nature and the cosmos, and insights into Eastern religions.
A truly fascinating work that needs to be read or listened to in order to fully appreciate.
Also, the narration is steady and well spoken and adds to the overall enjoyment.

Fantastic
Struggled to initially get into it (his childhood reflections are quite heavy), but once it goes into his clinical practice and ideas it gives a really excellent introduction to his thoughts and process.

Great Book!!!!!
If you want to learn more about Carl Jung's thought, you must read this book. Through his adventurous and inspiring life, he outlines the ABC of his theories. Easy to listen, easy to understand and at the same time very powerful.
Jung is one of the most important figure of the XX century, even more than the weak Freud. Highly recommended!

Adventure of a life time
I doubt there is a more interesting, intelligent , deep and crazy autobiography.
endlessly facinating, strangely comforting and deeply engaging.
