â€œFascinating . . . Fully engaging from beginning to end.â€ â€”Dell Horoscope
Although he is often called the â€œfounding father of the New Age,â€ Carl Jung, the legendary Swiss psychiatrist best known for his groundbreaking concepts such as the collective unconscious, archetype theory, and synchronicity, often took pains to avoid any explicit association with mysticism or the occult. Yet Jung lived a life rich in paranormal experiencesâ€”arguing for the existence of poltergeists in a debate with Sigmund Freud, participating in sÃ©ances, incorporating astrology into his therapeutic work, reporting a near-death experience, and analyzing the work of pioneering ESP researcher J. B. Rhine. It is these critical experiencesâ€”often fleetingly touched on in other biographies or critical studies, and frequently used to make a case against Jung and his philosophiesâ€”that form the core of this significant new biography.
