Modern Man in Search of a Soul

By: Carl Jung

Narrated by: Christopher Prince

Modern Man in Search of a Soul is the classic introduction to the thought of Carl Jung. Along with Freud and Adler, Jung was one of the chief founders of modern psychiatry. In this book, Jung examines some of the most contested and crucial areas in the field of analytical psychology: dream analysis, the primitive unconscious, and the relationship between psychology and religion.

Critic reviews

"No one who is interested in modern thought can afford to miss this brilliant, literally soul-searching volume." ( New York Times)

Amazing book. Terrible narrator.

Where does Modern Man in Search of a Soul rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is an amazing life changing book. But not audiobook

Would you be willing to try another one of Christopher Prince’s performances?

If Christopher Prince turned out to be the worlds first AI, this would not come as a surprise. He reads just like a text to speech application. It ruined the feeling of the whole book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

As I said in my title this book was amazing.

Any additional comments?

If you have been recommended this book by someone. Either read a physical copy of the book. Or try and find a competent voice actor on audiobook.

Amazing insight into human pysche

I loved this book. It explains my predicament and neuroses that I have. There are no easy solutions in life yet being aware of how one's psyche is always trying to compensate brings awareness to one's actions and all the consequences that come with it.

Dense with thoughtful insight; need physical copy

This will be book I re-visit most often; physical copy will be useful to me.

Brilliant and still relevant to modern man today

Jung has captured the nature of humanity and Western man’s struggle. The material is relatively timeless.

I liked the narrator because with complicated subjects you don’t want to be distracted by the voice. He speaks clearly, but a warning, somewhat robotic.

So interesting and inspirational.

The more I listen to Jung's writings the more I want to study! for now I'm listening to audio books due to time limitations but i will buy the books soon.
