Fetch Your Copy Jungian Psychology Unplugged: My Life As An Elephant (Studies In Jungian Psychology By Jungian Analysts, 80) Crafted By Daryl Sharp Conveyed In Pamphlet

ambitious book which tackles Jungian analysis from both a personal and theoretical perspective, I had hoped that it would have been less theoretical and more focused on his experiences of analysis, However, I found the advice on what the analysis is likely to be like and what it might offer to be invaluable,

I guess Jung's work which spanned his adult life is a huge depository for his developing ideas and subsequent understanding of the human condition and consciousness.
Therefore it must be enormously difficult for a writer who is well versed in the theory to condense and distil some of the ideas, without which an understanding of what is going on is probably impossible.


I remain confused by the theory but intuitively sense a great deal of valuable personal insight might be obtained in its application, Partial Read. I read this book because of a dream I had about elephants and war, I literally heard about it a few days after I had my strange dream and felt that I was meant to read it, To be honest I thought it was going to be over my head, but as I read it and reflected on it I felt like I knew myself a little bit better.
This book is really for a hardcore student of psychology particularly Jungian Carl JungPsychology, If you are truly interested in learning about the inner workings on your outer environment and if digested slowly with a reflexive attitude you will not be dissapointed.
This was a helpful introduction to the ideas of Jung and his analysis, I thought the book was most lively and interesting when the author used his own examples and life to illustrate the various points, and I finished the work wishing there had been more of that.


However, the book is a quick read and as an introduction, it works quite well, I'd recommend it if you want to understand how this Jung stuff works better without having to plow through the source material, Providing a comprehensive overview of Jung's basic concepts and their application, this text provides an introduction for students and readers new to Jungian ideas, Part One, on psychological types, the shadow and the persona, leads on to a section on archetypes and complexes, This is followed by chapters on projection and identification, anima and animus, The text then turns to the midlife crisis, and to neurosis and individuation, It then addresses the analytic experience and concludes with a series of writings on psychological development, selfknowledge, personality and individuation, and the religious dimension, Life as an Elephant, AKA,

This wonderfully warm, humorous, entertaining and beautifully written book gives an overview of Jungian Psychology, That's right, warm, humorous, entertaining, beautifully written, and a psychology book, 'Jungian Psychology Unplugged: My Life as an Elephant' is comprised of six chapters, Chapter one addresses Jung's Basic model of Psychological Types, Chapter two deals with Getting to know Yourself' and explains the basics of archetypes and complexes, persona, shadow, . . Chapter three, The Unknown Other' is about projection and identification, including the challenges involved with intimacy and relationships, Chapter four deals with the Anatomy of a Midlife Crisis' which is most often fueled by the need to develop a relationship with one's self, or with the unexpressed aspects of our personalities that have not been honored and given a voice earlier in life.
In chapter five Daryl Sharp writes about 'The Analytical Experience,' including his own, which I found most refreshing, All to often, one will pick up a psychology or selfhelp book in hopes of finding a recipe to improve one's life, That's not what happens in Jungian Psychology Unplugged: My life as an Elephant, Instead, in vulnerable fashion, Daryl Sharp shares some of his more personal moments during the period when he was seeking council, The author well knows that another person's recipe is worthless when it comes to finding one's self and living an authentic life, and he doesn't pretend to be an authority and try to prove otherwise.
Chapter six is about 'Psychological Development,' the process of becoming more conscious by developing a relationship to one's soul, Sharp addresses the need to be true to our vocations, our true callings in life, and venerates those who have the courage to do just thislistening and being true to one's inner voice.
I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in living an authentic life, not just those who have an interest in Jung or psychology,
