My Friend Carl Jung
9 May 2003
Format:Paperback
Edward Hoffman has made Carl Jung available to us all. He has taken the heart and soul of Jung's written insight and presented it to us in easily understood and digestible aphoristic-like paragraphs that reveal the awesome visionary genius, of this great psychologist.
Editing a thinker like Jung is no small task. Like a sculpture, Hoffman's editing brilliance is revealed in his astute knowledge of cutting away the unnecessary material leaving us only with the beautiful form and substance of the work. He has managed to dish up to the reader the wonderful beauty of Jung's truly impressive and liberating wisdom.
This is the best introduction to the work of Carl Jung that has ever been written. An awesome collection of psychological insight, well ordered and easy to read. I give this book my highest recomendation. It is destined to become a classic.

"The Wisdom of Carl Jung" brings together highly readable excerpts from the extensive writings of one of the world's most influential psychologists, logically arranged into such themes as Creativity and Genius, Understanding the Human Psyche and Education, Social Change and World Improvement. A comprehensive biographical essay at the start of the book provides perspective on Jung's far-reaching ideas on mysticism, sexuality, religion, fantasy, successful living and other topics directly relevant to our own emotional and personality growth.

Wisdom Is Yours For The Reading - This Book Does It
26 April 2003
Format:Paperback
A mesmerizing read, we are served delicious slices of Carl Jung's brilliance in the most palatible of ways. Coming away hugely enriched, while not bloated, you will recognize, as did I, that no other book on Jung has been offered in such a simple, yet exquisitely profound,way. Frankly, I could not put it down. And, when I had concluded my reading, I yearned for more and more still. You will too. This is a feast for all hungering for the merging of mind, body, heart and spirit. Treat yourself today.
