About this listen

In The Undiscovered Self Jung explains the essence of his teaching for an audience unfamiliar with his ideas. He highlights the importance of individual responsibility and freedom in the context of today's mass society and argues that individuals must organise themselves as effectively as the organized mass if they are to resist joining it.

To help them achieve this he sets out his influential programme for achieving self-understanding and self-realisation. The Undiscovered Self is a book that will awaken many individuals to the new life of the self that Jung visualised. Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) founded the analytical school of psychology and developed a radical new theory of the unconscious.

Critic Reviews

"This is a very important book indeed. It is a short book. And it is written with a simple directness, unlike Jung’s longer and more technical books, readers should approach the book with an open mind. Suspicious staring and skinning are not good enough." (J. B Priestly)

this booked used highly repetitive language to make what seemed like very simple points. perhaps some cultural context is needed to understand why it was apparently so groundbreaking at the time of publication. overall i just found it really boring and i did not find any relatable or transferable to the present time.

repetitive and circular language

I couldn't even continue to listen to it past chapter two. I felt someone had purposely opened a thesaurus and spent all their time just swapping out simple words to make it seem appealing to the intellectual. Or maybe I'm just not an intellectual?

Too wordy and Hi-brow

Disliked the narrator. Boring and tedious. Needs a modern take so the story can be comprehended by individuals in this day and age.

Hmmm below average
