About this listen

This volume of the Collected Writings consists of psychological reflections on classical mythology for insight into archetypal structures and dynamics that play out in contemporary life.

Mythology is an important resource for depth psychology, and the works included in this volume are a contribution to the archetypal perspective on psyche inspired by the works of C.G. Jung, James Hillman, and Raphael Lopez-Pedraza.

The narrator is not invested in the text at all. The narration is too fast and it's akin to someone reading a shopping list.
The actual text is incredibly engaging and for Jungian theory very readable and enjoyable even.
I'm sure the narrator is great at reading other things but it really requires the narrator to have an interest and or understanding of the text in order to read it in a way that the meanings in it are conveyed.

Chiron are one of the main publishers of Jungian literature and I would have hoped for better from them really.

brilliant writer but listening to it ruins it
