"One of the world8217s greatest psychiatrists reveals how to embrace our own humanity and resist the pressures of an ever-changing world.   In this challenging and provocative work, Dr. Carl Jung8212one of history8217s greatest  minds8212argues that civilization8217s future depends on our ability as individuals to resist the collective forces of society. Only by gaining an awareness and understanding of one8217s unconscious mind and true, inner nature82128220the undiscovered self82218212can we as individuals acquire the self-knowledge that is antithetical to ideological fanaticism. But this requires that we face our fear of the duality of the human psyche8212the existence of good and the capacity for evil in every individual. In this seminal book, Jung compellingly argues that only then can we begin to cope with the dangers posed by mass society82128220the sum total of individuals82218212and resist the potential threats posed by those in power.8220A passionate plea for individual integrity.82218212The New York Times Book Review
