Really enjoying this book so far. Great introduction to Jung's ideas regarding the human psyche. It also goes into some detail regarding Jung's relationship with Freud and their ultimate breakup. Personally, I don't think Jung and Freud were good for each other. On one hand, Jung was a very free and creative type whereas Freud stuck rigidly to his psychosexual theory at all costs. Both of them were very excitable and somewhat melodramatic people. In the end, it was a flashy and passionate friendship that inevitably became quite toxic.

super fascinating, Jungs theories on how the archetypes of the unconscious are reflected in the characters of evil personified in fairy tales, and how fairy tales reveal inner ways for incorporating and dealing with these encounters with the shadow we experience in our own lives. Highly recommend this book: https://a.co/d/jh1apKm
