I think it's helpful to read some of the books on this list first, then jump into The Red Book. You'll be able to see how Jung's theories were shaped, challenged and born from his active imaginations and interactions with the unconscious.
Great list, thanks for sharing! One of my earliest and absolute favorites is “The Undiscovered Self” - so remarkable how his analysis of society is still relevant all these years later. Also enjoyed “Analytical Psychology”, basically a transcript of his Tavistock lectures and all the q&a ranging from rude to just not getting it.
I was just revisiting The Undiscovered Self recently had the same thought! Deeply relevant, and I thought, how impactful would this be if it was required reading in school?
The Q&A on the Tavistock lectures sounds really fascinating, and funny! I've got to get a copy of that.
Thanks for this list, Alyssa. Your thoughts on each book is helpful. I may start with #3. By the way, have you read anything from L.D. Deutsch? She released a book recently called "Time, Myth & Matter." She references Jung and von Franz quite a bit in her content.
Great to read this list, as I'm currently reading The Portable Jung with a friend (and I'm so happy to have a friend willing to delve into it with me). For me, it is clarifying/concretizing some of the Jungian concepts I have only "intuitively" understood this far. I'm curious, are you INFJ or INTJ?
What about delving into Jung's "RED BOOK?"

I've already read "the books on the list", thay's why I mentioned The Ted Book.

Awesome list! Thank you for compiling. Added a couple to my cart.
Great, hope you enjoy them :)

You can’t go wrong starting with any on this list! Hope you enjoy :)
I haven’t read anything from that author. Thanks for the heads up!

Ohh, glad to hear you are reading it! Do you have a favorite essay so far?
I’m an INFJ. How about you?
