It's a bit tricky to engage a summary without ad hoc or strawman so I'll just put it in context, I read it after a lot of existentialism and it was the logical next step in the sense of the philosophical destiny of my own path. It was the first book wherein I cut up and used sticky notes, probably around 50 of them.

It draws you in and rocks Christianity's boat, it rocks philosophy's boat (especially idealism), introduces you to all Jung was concerned about (and he wrote a lot). The biggest thing is how versatile his psychological modality can be. He talks in depth about how people just work, why certain patterns stick out, the ones that bother you for reasons you can't feel satisfied with. It definitely forever changed the way I think about everything and there is no returning to the point before which I read that book.

The target audience would probably be those who fell out of grips with Christianity, since he addresses that topic a lot, but the main focus is still definitely the interactions between psyche/collective psyche/unconscious. It's honestly terrifying to read sometimes just because of how much it grabs you and forces you to acknowledge your inner world and stare at your soul. But it's an encouragement also in that you are challenging the unknown, something a lot of people don't ever do.
