The Undiscovered Self

by C.G. Jung

Jung's short late essay on the individual against mass society and the need for self-knowledge to resist it. Urgent and accessible.

Read it if…

you want Jung in sixty pages.

Skip it if…

you want his clinical writing.

Try instead: Memories, Dreams, Reflections →

Three things you will actually use

Mass thinking erases the individual.
Self-knowledge resists.
The shadow is collective too.

Do this first

Read it in one evening.

Our verdict

Jung, briefly.
