If the universe was code, Jung wrote Human. This is the densest book I've read till date. And it brings out the genius of the man who was Jung, while it expands your mind...if you're oriented towards really understanding human psyche. If the universe was code, Jung wrote Human.

I'd been fascinated by Myers Briggs Personality Spectrum, but could see that there were many rough edges and generalisations there, things that come with simplifying something nuanced and complex. And so, I'd been planning to go right to the source. To Jung. The man who gave the world the concepts of Introversion and Extroversion. And I wasn't disappointed in the least. The book opens with the conflict between the individual and the collective, goes into introversion and extroversion, history of types, their representation in poetry among other things and then finally comes to the 'general definition of types' For my interest, I skimmed through the historical parts, as well as poetry..and right to the general definition of types. You can do the same. You can jump directly to Chapter X, once you've read the introduction if you want to understand his theories of Psychological Types. I've become very interested in the man, and will be reading more of his books, `Dreams, memories, and reflections` to start with.
