Customer Reviews

Great introduction

Most books on Jung assume a high degree of familiarity with psychotherapy or disparage his studies of spirituality and the occult (or both). Crowley's book is an excellent, highly readable introduction to Jung's ideas. I thought some of the author's examples and supporting evidence seemed to be a bit of a stretch, but overall it's a very useful book for anyone interested in the topic. A selected bibliography for further exploration is also provided.

Superb introduction to a complex subject

This is a fine introduction to the most important Jungian ideas of spirituality. Jung was responsible for developing many aspects of psychology which we take for granted today, and his personal researches extended into the religions and beliefs of both East and West. A great author but a poor communicator, his works are not easy for newcomers to the subject so this book, which presents all the basics in a really clear and enjoyable way, is a great find for someone who is keen to learn more about mind, body and spirit but would be daunted by a dry, intellectual treatise. Highly recommended.
