Hello wise people and welcome to our series 'Short Intros.'

In this series, we focus on summarising books from the 'Very Short Introduction (VSI)' series published by Oxford University Press. 

-----------------

We hope you had a good break, full of lots of festive cheer. I know we did.

As you will have noticed we took a bit of time off, but now we are back and we have a bunch of plans in motion for the next couple of months to bring you some really great content. 

Today, however,  we are summarising a Very Short Introduction to Jung by Anthony Stevens.

Carl Jung was born in 1875 in Switzerland and was the founder of analytical psychology. He is well known for his work on the collective unconscious and archetypal potential and is considered to be a bit of a maverick in his own right.

Now it's got to be said that Jung’s ideas aren’t the easiest to get your head around, so you have to stay open-minded, they’re essentially paradigms in themselves.  

Anthony Steven’s does a great job of summarising his biggest ideas which we try to elaborate on in this summary. We cover his Individuation process for self-growth, the collective unconscious, archetypal potential, stages of life, dream analysis and finally psychological types. 

Obviously, we won’t be able to do it justice and there is so much material out there that it is almost impossible to summarise in an hour, but we hope we are able to provide an insight into this great mind and some of his work which is still having an effect today.

If you enjoy it, you know the drill, give us a like, a subscribe or a follow and if you’re feeling super inspired, why not leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts. But until then, we hope you enjoy A Very Short Introduction to Jung.
