Why read it?
1 author picked Psychology and Alchemy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Carl Jung’s discoveries in psychoanalysis and alchemy caused a revolution in 20TH Century psychotherapy, and the breakthroughs he made have had a huge influence on contemporary spirituality.
My book is deeply based on Jung’s research in general, and then this is his greatest book.
Ancient alchemists were supposedly trying to turn lead into gold, yet now we know they were activating many dimensions in their consciousness to attain the gold—personal transformation, even transfiguration of their souls—Jung’s fundamental discovery.
From Barbara's list on The best novel for finding your soul and discovering ancient knowledge.
