Reading Jung's Red Book


At age 42, I found myself undergoing several tremendous life changes. To quote Dante, "In the middle of the road of my life I awoke in the dark wood where the true way was wholly lost."

This was my experience.

As Fate would have it, this was the same year that Jung's Red Book was finally published.

As Fate would further have it, a wonderful couple with whom I am friends recently gave me a copy of this long-awaited book.

Ah, the joys of synchronicity.

The Red Book is amazing! Even though it has only been available for a short period of time, there are already many positive reviews on Amazon.

My intention is to write a review of the Red Book, but I plan to savor the reading, taking my time and allowing Jung to teach me in the "wholly lost" space that I currently inhabit.
