The Red Book (by Carl Jung)

The Red Book by Carl Jung is an introspective, detailed journal documenting his personal exploration of the unconscious mind through vivid imagery, dialogue, and symbolism. It reflects his process of inner discovery, in which he confronts archetypes, integrates conflicting aspects of himself, and seeks deeper understanding of human psyche and spirituality. While highly personal, the work also offers insights into universal themes of mental growth, transformation, and the journey toward self-awareness. It is considered a foundational text in depth psychology, illustrating Jung’s method of engaging with the unconscious to facilitate psychological development.
