Carl Jung

DELVING INTO THE DEPTHS OF THE HUMAN PSYCHE

You’re not dreaming: finally, an in-depth conversation with Carl Jung, the father of analytic psychology, about the vast and varied power of the unconscious mind (personal and collective). As you’ll hear from the source, Jung’s psychological theories never get old; not only did he introduce terms you hear in today’s casual conversation (like “introvert” and “extrovert”), but he also influenced popular personality assessments, like the Myers-Briggs test.
