Summary
“The years, of which I have spoken to you, when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore.

Critics Review
“This is a volume that will be treasured by the confirmed Jungian or by admirers of beautifully made books or by those with a taste for philosophical allegory.”
“This is a volume that will be treasured by the confirmed Jungian or by admirers of beautifully made books or by those with a taste for philosophical allegory.” – Michael Dirda - The Washington Post
“For Christmas I’d like Carl Jung’s The Red Book.” – Talitha Stevenson, Books of the Year 2013 - The Observer
“I was amazed… by the illustrations Carl Gustav Jung made for The Red Book, which is considered the holy grail of the unconscious.” – W Magazine
”…for such an arcane work [The Red Book] is generating quite a buzz… publishing The Red Book opens a new era in understanding Jung’s work. It is a unique window on the construction of one of the world’s most influential psychologies.” – New Scientist
“The book is witness to a rare dedication to psychological research, and a prodigious curiosity. More crucially, at a time when the limits of materialism are being tested and found wanting, Jung’s confidence in a spiritual dimension to human consciousness must have a renewed appeal. For this, the book deserves attention, especially when established religious models are fading in popularity and the search for a meaningful life seems to have become increasingly urgent and elusive.” – Sally Vickers - The Times
