#86 — Dr. Carl Jung — Heroes, Alchemy, and Connection

https://bit.ly/Go_BelowtheLine

The historical giant and creator of analytical psychology, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, joins James to discuss his life, his work, and what might’ve been different if he had a little bit more of both. The staggering genius of Jung has given us the modern concepts of extroversion/introversion, synchronicity, the collective unconscious, individuation, archetypal phenomena, how myths inform and shape us, and so much more. Today, we cover many of these central topics, along with his views on the modern narrative of heroism, his fascination with alchemy, and the concepts he was still discovering before his death in 1961. We’re grateful he gave us some of his time nearly 60 years after leaving this lil earth.
