Description

Glimpse inside the mind of one of the most extraordinary psychologists of modern times in this fascinating biography of Carl Jung, covering his life, research and scientific legacy.

Carl Jung changed the way we think about the human mind. A major figure in the growth of psychoanalysis, he developed such innovative ideas as extroversion and introversion, the shadow, and synchronicity, and his legacy can be seen all around us - in the music we listen to, the stories we read and the movies we watch.

Author Lily Yuan takes us on a journey through Jung's life, beginning with the formative years of his childhood through his tumultuous relationship with fellow psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud to his travels across the world in his later years.

With clear explanations of his groundbreaking ideas and insights into Jung's unique personality, and photographs throughout, this is a compelling introduction to one of the great minds of the 20th century.
