Deep Insight: Personality & Culture,

This review is from: Compass of the Soul: Archetypal Guides to a Fuller Life (Paperback)
I'm surprised no one has reviewed this book. This book is truly awesome, and I don't give my praise lightly.
The only books I can think to compare it to are The Trickster and the Paranormal by George P. Hansen and The Culture of Make Believe by Derrick Jensen. I compare it to these books because it is also a very large and detailed book that analyzes our culture, and each of them is an intellectual feast. Compass of the Soul focuses mainly on society, but the lense through which the author looks is Jungian personality typology. The author is both a Jungian analyst and a MBTI practitioner. If you want an overview of, Jung's view of personality and those who developed his ideas there is no better book than this. However, if you don't have some basic familiarity, it might take you a while to grasp his viewpoint. This book isn't meant to be an introductory work. I should point out that this isn't just another book on Jung's ideas or on the MBTI. Hansen goes way beyond that. He analyzes our entire culture based on a very profound psychological understanding. Combine your reading of this book with the other two I mentioned and you'll have insight into our culture like few people possess. |
