Carl Jung's Red Book

My life often seemed to me like a story that has no beginning and no end. I had the feeling that I was an historical fragment, an excerpt for which the preceding and succeeding text was missing. I could well imagine that I might have lived in former centuries and there encountered questions I was not yet able to answer; that I had been born again because I had not fulfilled the task given to me.
   - Carl Jung

 

After twenty-three years, Carl Jung's private meditations and drawings have been released by the family for the benefit of humanity. This extraordinary body of work is published as The Red Book, and you can get an idea of what it contains by going to: http://issuu.com/rmanyc/docs/redbook120209

Psychologist Rick Hanson shares valuable insights and steps to retrain the brain, demonstrating how moving in a direction that is positive helps us on all levels, whereas dwelling on the negative weakens our system.
