Jung: A Very Short Introduction, by Anthony Stevens
Started 4/28/12
Finished 5/5/12
I decided to give myself some background on Jung's life and overall ideals before delving into the esoteric monster that is Psychological Types (1921). In Jung: A VSI, Stevens gives a broad overview on who Carl Jung was and what he believed. It was a quick read but extremely information-rich. While I don't have a whole lot of direct interaction with Jung's ideas, I believe Jung: A VSI has given me a solid overview of the man and his work. I'll soon be taking on Psychological Types.
