 Good for beginners, but... December 22, 2008

...you still might want to begin with an introductory text like Robin Robertson's Beginner's Guide to Jungian Psychology, to get the most out of this book. Man & His Symbols was written, under Jung's guidance, by those who were closest to him. The task, presented to him by a journalist, was to deliver a broad explanation of Jungian theory so that those of "average intelligence," i.e., with no training, would be able to digest it.

This book was a catalyst in my development as an individual at 17 years of age. To this day many years later, it has provided me with so much insight about myself and humanity. The realizations of self ultimately give an understanding of others and their tribulations.
I have purchased another copy (because mine was not returned by friends twice) and a Carl Jung "action figure" for my five-year-old son. While I understand he will not be able to read and comprehend it now, I know it will provide a great outline regarding the inner world that so many are lacking in this day and age.
For anyone who is cerebral, this book stands the test of time. The concepts and images will make a direct correlation with your personal life.

This is a classic must read for any counselor, psychologist, therapist, Etc. or someone just interested in interesting thought. Some truth some fantasy some bewildering mind scapes. C'mon why just read about how the original masters thought, why not read their own words!

This is a book that everybody should own, in my opinion. Karl Jung is a must have.
 Surprisingly uninteresting. April 16, 2008

I purchased this in a batch of books which I had wanted to read for a while, including Richard Dawkin's The Selfish Gene.
To be honest, this book is quite a disappointment to me. As noted in other reviews, Jung actually wrote only 1/5th of this book, serving as editor for the rest of the pieces. And it is exactly Jung's own writing which I find disappointing.
Jung's style is sloppy and unfocussed, possibly because this is evidently the first time he writes 'for the layman'. Compared to Dawkins' The Selfish Gene, which I read alternatingly with this book, Man and his Symbols reads like a sloppy collection of personal opinion. It's hard to see from this introduction how Jung is considered to be such an important thinker.
