About this listen
'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 a view of humanity and of culture that still resonates deeply.
Memories, Dreams, Reflections is a remarkable document showing a man of great depth, humility, and perspicacity. Once read, it is never forgotten.
Aniela Jaffé's introduction is read by Elizabeth Proud.
"Jung's single-minded humility, his passion to unearth truth, is one of the loveliest impressions to emerge from this absorbing and many-sided book." (The Times)

Superb
I've been utterly transfixed by this recording, listening over weeks as the leaves in Hampstead Heath changed colour. Bravo Ukemi for bringing Jung to life.

A thoroughly personal experience
My first Audible experience.
The contents are amazing, it felt like actually going through the life of Jung. It shares some profound insights on his own psyche and clears up a lot of questions I had of my own psyche and illumanites some of his other written works through this.
Personally unsure about the performance as this is my first listening experience, at the beginning it felt a bit off and was harder to get into however that quickly changed and I was able to listen to it without care. I would like to also add that the voice sounds quite stoic, whatever that would mean in this context, and it felt fitting to the read text.

Sensational summary of his life and work
The input from Jung himself really adds character and credibility to the overall themes of the book.
worth a listen for anyone interested in philosophy, psychology, mythology, symbolism or the man himself.

A better understanding of Carl Jung
This was my first Carl Jung book and it really clarified more for me about Carl Jung and than I’d normally spouted only in relation to his relationship with Freud,

A visionary who was occasionally hard to follow
Parts of this are quite mind blowing. Sometimes the references are hard to follow and packed with detail.
The childhood visions, and his breakdown show a remarkable bravery and intellect. Some of the descriptions of African and Indian travel may sound quite paternalistic now, but his general outlook embodied an open mind and desire to understand the consciousness of all.
