With our books on psychology, we aim to honor the ancient traditions of studying the self while applying modern methods and perspectives to the work of liberating the mind from suffering and living with clarity and purpose, compassion and connection.
"We're always finding out how to love better—love more," explains David Richo, PhD, a therapist and author who leads popular workshops on personal and spiritual growth.
Intention is the single most powerful and transformative ingredient in dialogue. It shapes our verbal and nonverbal communication, directing the course of a conversation. If you take nothing else from this whole book, I hope you will take with you the importance the intention to understand, to come from curiosity and care, has in your interactions.
When people get their heads rearranged by Jung–sometimes after reading his Man and His Symbols—it often instills in them a craving for more writings of the founder of analytical psychology. But they hit a roadblock: Jung’s Collected Works run to more than eighteen volumes! Do you need a PhD in Jungian studies just to know where to start? Not if you have this little book. Rob Hopcke breaks the Collected Works down by key concept—from archetypes to dreams to UFOS—providing a brief summary of Jung’s thinking on each topic, then showing you first where to get started in the Works, then where to proceed to go deeper. He then provides a list of secondary sources for further exploration.
