Beside Ourselves: Our Hidden Personality in Everyday Life

11 reviews
Naomi L. Quenk

Consulting Psychologists Press, 1993

Bridging the Gap
This book is super! Here, Naomi Quenk bridges the gap between Jung's psychology of the shadow, "Keirsey's" temperament, and MBTI. While not for the novice (some of the themes are contextually difficult to understand the first read through), this book offers startling insight into how MBTI and Jungian psychology play into our own (and others) personality makeup. The focus is, of course, what ...

Jung to Live by

Eugene Pascal

Grand Central Publishing, 1992

Everyday Applications of Jung's Theories
Dr. Eugene Pascal provides an illuminating book which clarifies many complex principles and concepts of Jung, bringing them into everyday reality. Most impressive are the chapters on on 'individuation', 'the shadow' and 'psychic wholeness'. His explanation of how symbols operate within dreams is quite outstanding. The most enjoyable chapter for me explained how myths and legends are enacted ...

Excellent book about love!
It gives a great perspective as to how we humans experience love. It also gives a good explanation of what is the difference between romatic love and, true and mature love. It talks about expectations, desires, passion, commitment, fears, etc. It helped me to understand why my love parners acted the way they did in our relationships, as well as why I kept fighting for those unfruitful ...

John McCracken

Kachere Series, 2005

Author is good at explaining tough Economic principles
I'm new to Economics and have done very well in the class so far because the book does such a good job explaining complex economic principles. My Professor follows the book exactly. He even uses the slides provided by the publisher. The student section the publisher provides is awesome too. It has flashcards, practice tests, powerpoint slides, etc.

The Autobiography of Charles G. Finney

Charles G. Finney

Bethany House Publishers, 1977

A MUST read! - Revivals detailed to the most minute detail.
If you ever wanted revival in your own life or ministry, this book is the most clear representation I have ever seen in print anywhere. It is a riveting book that has kept me up at night for hours until I could read no more. Many people talk about revival and many people desire it, but until it is seen personally, it is difficult to comprehend. This book comes about as close to really "seeing" ...

Abrahadabra: Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thelemic Magick

6 reviews
Rodney Orpheus

Weiser Books, 2005

Wonderful Introduction to Thelmatic Magic
This book was given me by a magician who adores Crowley. I must state right away that I do not. However, this book is certainly the best introduction to the magic of Crowley, and his universe, that I have ever read. Crowley himself said that Magic Without Tears was the only book he ever wrote that truly described his art. That being the case, this book, and its excellent exercises, are a ...

The Complete Fairy Tales and Stories

Hans Christian Andersen, Virginia Haviland

Doubleday, 1973

The best there is
It is a pity that most people only know Hans Christian Andersen for a few of his "easiest" fairy tales. What springs to mind for almost everyone is stories like "The Emperor's New Clothes", "The Ugly Duckling" and perhaps "The Snowqueen". But Hans Christian Andersen has written a vast array of profoundly touching tales. In Odense, Denmark the Danish actor Troels Møller said (two years ago in a ...

A Primer of Jungian Psychology (Mentor)

Calvin S. Hall, Vernon J. Nordby

Signet, 1973

Great Jung cover
Jung builds off many of Freuds concepts, therefore the author Calvin Hall had to, and does have a sense of Freudian psychology. There are also many things that are Jungs own such as ideas about: a collective unconscious, archetypes, dreams and symbols and various personality types. All these things and more covered by Calvin Hall - originating from Carl Gustov Jung. Read it.

The Wisdom Of Carl Jung (Wisdom Library)

5 reviews

Citadel, 2003

My Friend Carl Jung
Edward Hoffman has made Carl Jung available to us all. He has taken the heart and soul of Jung's written insight and presented it to us in easily understood and digestible aphoristic-like paragraphs that reveal the awesome visionary genius, of this great psychologist. Editing a thinker like Jung is no small task. Like a sculpture, Hoffman's editing brilliance is revealed in his astute knowledge ...

Linda Shepherd

Shambhala, 1993

OUTSTANDING INSIGHT INTO SCIENCE
This is a wonderful book that details the difference between how men and women approach science. It demonstrates those charactoristics that women can uniquely bring to science. As a mathematician I was impressed with Dr. Shepherd's rigorous scholarship and enjoyed her interviews with living women scientists. I'm a father of a teenage girl who plans a career in science, and I appreciate ...

Amazing Paper Cuttings of Hans Christian Andersen

Beth Wagner Brust

Topeka Bindery, 2003

This Book Is A Real Treasure
Like so many Americans, I had no idea HC Andersen was a paper-cutting genius, until reading the series of articles by Ms. Brust in the LA Times. Not to mention that he cut these "amazing" intricate pieces while telling one of his stories to a roomful of listeners at the same time. The book's a treasure in that I feel like I've discovered gold within. Not simply a children's book, it's so ...

a truly remarkable experience
In this--Edgar Rice Burroughs' first tale of life on Mars (Barsoom to its inhabitants)--we see a brilliantly conceived world featuring titanic green monsters and gorgeous red princesses battling forever across a dying landscape. From the opening set in the American southwest to the deserted cities on Mars to great battles between balkanized nations, this is brilliant adventure fiction. John ...

Curious George Goes to a Costume Party (Curious George)

5 reviews

Houghton Mifflin, 2001

Typical Curious Fun!
At first I was a little suspicious about this book, "illustrated in the style of H.A.Rey by Martha Weston." I didn't want anybody messing with my dearly loved friend, Curious George! I am glad to say that I was pleasantly surprised. This book tells the Halloween adventures of our curious little pal, as he and the man with the yellow hat go to a costume party. At first, George finds it a bit ...

C.G. Jung Speaking: Interviews and Encounters (Bollingen Series, 97)

4 reviews

Princeton Univ Pr, 1977

A must! if you are interested in Jung.
A must! if you are interested in C.G. Jung and his psychology. Why is "C.G. Jung Speaking" a must? FIRST OF ALL, simply because the Collected Works doesn't include the information found here. These are not works of Jung, but the works of others--interviews, characterizations etc. In other words, you will find some information here which you could only dig out with great difficulty, scattered ...

On the Sensations of Tone (1870; English 1875) (Thoemmes Press - Classics in Psychology)

6 reviews
Hermann von Helmholtz

Thoemmes Continuum, 1998

An undisputed classic in the science of hearing and music
Helmholtz's Sensations of Tone became an almost instant classic in the study of hearing when it was published in 1863. It combined the physics, physiology and psychological aspects of hearing in an attempt to explain the origins of musical harmony and dissonance. Though not easy reading, it is accessible to the non-specialist. However it also provides an important historical resource for ...

The Complete Works of Harrison Fisher Illustrator

Naomi Welch

Images of the Past, 1999

Wonderul Resource on Harrison Fisher!
I have been collecting Harrison Fisher illustrated prints and bookplates for about 10 years now. Ms. Welch compiles so much of Harrison Fisher's work in this volume. This book begins with a biography which has the most information I have read about him anywhere. Good quality materials are used; this is a large artbook with full-color illustrations printed on glossy, thick paper. Most, if not ...

James T. De Kay

W. W. Norton & Company, 1995

A True Story About America's Brave and Patriotic Past
During the War of 1812 many early land battles ended terribly for the United States. Our soldiers were volunteers who lacked the training to sustain the fierce attacks of the seasoned British troops who had just defeated Napoleon. America needed a boost of confidence to thwart those in the land who would capitulate to the British rather than fight what they saw as a loosing battle. In a short ...

Jung and the Alchemical Imagination (Jung on the Hudson Book Series)

6 reviews
Jeffrey Raff

Nicolas-Hays, 2000

Quick Path to Bliss
Ignore the complexity of the title. This book is the newest and best handbook on finding your myth. If you are serious about living by guidance from an Intelligence equal to "God", read this book. You need little knowledge of Jung , as Raffe does a great job making him easy to understand. But the power in this book is his focus on the THREE REAL STEPS you must experience as the world of the ...
