Carl Gustav Jung is one of those people who fundamentally changed the way people look at themselves. Developing a new concept of consciousness after Freud, Jung was not afraid to argue with his famous associate, and eventually broke with traditional psychoanalysis, moving into even more unexplored depths of our thinking - to the collective unconscious. His concept of the psyche is considered as powerful as it is mysterious: Jung not only uses the methods of science, but also refers to the mystical practices of the East and ancient societies. That he was moving in the right direction is only becoming fully understood today.

This book is Jung's last lifetime work, and the only popular presentation of his theory addressed to the widest possible audience. Using Jung's method of "analytical psychology," his closest associates and students demonstrate the influence of the unconscious, mediated by symbols, on ancient myths and modern art, on scientific inquiry and human life from childhood to old age.
