The Red Book

A Reader's Edition

De: C. G. Jung, Sonu Shamdasani - editor translator

Narrado por: Mike Fraser

An audio edition of the famous Red Book text and essay.

The Red Book, published to wide acclaim in 2009, contains the nucleus of C. G. Jung's later works. It was here that he developed his principal theories of the archetypes, the collective unconscious, and the process of individuation that would transform psychotherapy from treatment of the sick into a means for the higher development of the personality.

As Sara Corbett wrote in the New York Times, The creation of one of modern history's true visionaries, The Red Book is a singular work, outside of categorization. As an inquiry into what it means to be human, it transcends the history of psychoanalysis and underscores Jung's place among revolutionary thinkers like Marx, Orwell and, of course, Freud.

The Red Book: A Reader's Edition features Sonu Shamdasani's introductory essay and the full translation of Jung's vital work in one audiobook. The Red Book is skillfully narrated by Mike Fraser. Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.

Brilliant

Amazing really enjoyed this read. Came to me at the right time to further explore and understand myself.

This book causes dreams

This book is difficult you have to simultaneously decode symbolism and difficult concepts from that symbolism. The symbolism adds depth to the book that makes it one of those books with infinite meaning.

one of a kind

Something to hear more than once. Hope you enjoy this as much as i did.

Tough Slogging, but Worth It

Having closely studied the Thoth tarot and other older occult systems and philosophies will help one make some inexplicable sense of all this...great narration

Jung’s psychology is rich and colorful, narrator was fantastic.

Great book! I’d give it 5 stars but the chapters are mislabeled, needs to be fixed.

Stunning and enlightening

I am still working through the thoughts and ideas this book has brought me to. My soul is very grateful for the encouragement to bring requital, and I feel a definite upgrade as to how well I know and understand myself. Thank you Carl for undertaking what must have been a challenging journey with little available guidance

this is not for everyone

you don't have to be particularly intelligent, but you have to have some background in a subject material

Carl Jung in his life and works has created an amazing amalgam of psychology and spirituality. In fact I do believe it is the first-of-its-kind.

It means I will be taking a new tangent in the way I look at the world.

great book

great book find out about this a while ago is wanted to check it out definitely introspective book to say the least overall I liked it fast forward a little pretty easy to follow great

Explosive Subtle Metaphorical Gems!

Love his book! This isn't a one pass through listen. Definitely looking forward to what insights await in the recurrence!

Controlled descent into madness

Were I not familiar with Jung as a serious, rational, scientific mind; and but for the second layer unpacking of each of the bizarre and seemingly random entries, I would have thought this to be the work of a madman.

I strongly suggest reading as much of Jung’s straightforward psychological writing as you can to prepare yourself for the deluge of seemingly disjointed archetypal imagery presented herein. I’ve read a lot, and I found myself bouncing off and skittering over several sections.

CG Jung was an absolute madlad, and this book is his detailed account of what happens when then abyss stares back at you, and you don’t blink.
