Jung. A Journey Towards Oneself

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961), a Swiss physician and pioneer of psychoanalysis, is one of the greatest thinkers of the 20th century. He remains relatively unknown in France, even though his ideas have had a profound influence on our contemporary culture and he was the inventor of many revolutionary concepts, such as synchronicity, the collective unconscious, archetypes, and complexes.

Along with Spinoza, he is one of those who have had the greatest impact on me and who has had a decisive impact on my vision of the world and of myself.

This is why I was keen to make his visionary thinking accessible to a wide audience, which bridges the gap between psychology and quantum physics, and shows how much human beings need meaning and a symbolic or spiritual life to flourish deeply. This conviction will distance him from Freud and lead him to experiment and develop his "individuation process": an extraordinary inner journey, where each of us learns to bring our conscious and unconscious into dialogue in order to fully become ourselves and access a feeling of unity and deep joy.

It is to this fascinating journey towards oneself that I wanted to invite the reader, to the discovery of one of the thinkers who seems to me to have gone the furthest in the understanding of the human being and the meaning of his existence.
