Publisher's Summary
What are archetypes? What is the collective unconscious? Both these concepts are two of Jung’s most famous and exciting ideas.
In this volume, taken from the Collective Works, Jung describes and elaborates upon these two central concepts of his psychology. Included are essays on specific archetypes, a study of the process of individuation, and an account of mandala symbolism. The Journal of Analytical Psychology in its review of the text commented: ‘An eloquent witness to Jung’s greatness of mind and heart. His idea of the archetype involves profound attitudes towards man’s existence and intimates values through which very many people have found a new significance in their lives.’ In its original print format, The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious was profusely illustrated with many illustrations in full colour, and these are all available on a companion PDF which can be downloaded with this recording.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An excellent way to consume Jung's work
Swain does an exemplary job of narrating the work in a clear and legible manner with only fleeting instances of moving too swiftly over some of the more difficult concepts being explained throughout the work. This however is to be expected with a book of this nature as it is dense and deeply complicated.
There are certain instances of trans-exclusionary terms and instances of disproved theory throughout the book and this must be taken in its stride given the age and nature of it. The ideas within led to further exploration and discovery and remains a key work for writers, creatives and artists specifically who wish to further explore these ideas within their work.
The imagery is evocative and almost reads like prose at times however there are long diatribes of religious theory that diverge so far from the core ideas being explored that they at times felt like Jung was simply flexing his knowledge if the subjects rather than precise points and brief asides they often feel like a complete change if subject that if left between listens can create some confusion. this is certainly a book you want to pick up and put down exclusively at chapter ends.

absolutely fascinating
I've been drawn to the writing of Jung since I was young. this book is well read and so interesting in content, a welcome balm to the injury of one sided material rationalism of western civilisation. a n invitation to embark on the process of individuation.

Unlistenable AI garbage performance
Clearly a recording of each individual word stitched together awkwardly in such a way that it becomes incomprehensible. Waste of money.
