The Greeks

Modern man in search of a soul is a good introduction. It's a collection of essays, so you can read the ones you're most interested in. The dream analysis one is particularly very good. He says that your subconscious act in a way to emulate your phisiology. Just as the body tries to compensate a lack of hormones producing more of it, for example, your unconscious produces dreams to compensate something lacking in your consciousness. Good shit right there.

at least be honest to yourself and take the astrology pill.

The greeks and Hermes Trismegistus

one doesn't simply begin with Jung, Jung begins with them. watch for synchronicity.

If I have no interest in mysticism and have a very surface-level interest in Lacan, does Jung even have anything in store for me?

Jung's mystical writings attract the most comment, so tend to be over-emphasised. His Complete Works cover the full range of psychological topics. For example, his theory of types is relevant to everybody (it's the basis for the Myers-Briggs psychometric test.)

I was recommended Man and his symbols but even that was hard to understand yet very interesting read

The forgotten language by Fromm. Then watch Academy of Ideas or google 'archetypes' or something, you could even watch Peterson's lectures. AOI suggests one starts with Jung's Map of the soul.

it's irrelevant

buy modern man, after you read that, buy a shit ton of LSD (or psilocybin, but that's a bit too patrician for a jung pleb) and the red book (second hand)

here's the chart, use the Wikia next time.

The OUP Very Short Introduction would serve as a great, well, very short introduction to his life and work, then you go through Fromm's book >>16657690

Dive into the deep end.

The only worj of his that I've read and didn't like was Aproaching the Unconsious. It starts with a note about how he didn't want to write it and only did because his friend wanted Jung's ideas to be more accessible. I quit part way in because it's Jung written for brainlets.

Start with Man and his Symbols. You don't need any secondary reading to understand Jung's fundamental ideas; they're laid out extremely clearly in that book so that anyone can into Jung. Then move onto Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious. Congratulations, you are now more educated on Jung than the majority of this board. His other works are slightly more mystical if you're intrigued by those elements of his introductory works (not that there's any shortage of mysticism in the two I mentioned).

Jordan Peterson's lectures. Personality and its transformations.

Read the Black Books until you get to the part where he took shrooms and bases his entire work on his his hallucinations. Then, realize he's full of shit and stop reading him.

The waste basket you found it in.

Here's a list I've made before:

-Chapter 1 Man and His Symbols(the rest is optional)
-Modern Man in Search of a Soul
-A History of Modern Psychology Zurich Lectures(the best possible introduction)
-Two Essays on Analytical Psychology(1/ )
-Freud and Psychoanalysis(2/ these two aren't THAT necessary, but you should read them at some point)
-Memories, Dreams, Reflections
-Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious
-Psychological Types
-Psychology of the Unconscious/Symbols of Transformation
-Contributions to Psychology
-his various essays from the thirties and forties such as the Wotan essay(see Essays on Contemporary Events)
-Then all the major works from the forties and onwards such as Psychology and Alchemy. Psyche and Symbol is also a very good and favourite collection of some his writings, including those later works. Read the Red Book when you believe you're ready, often it is very good to read it before you get too far in. But above all, Jung is exit tier, you should have basic of knowledge of history, philosophy, art, religion, science and less importantly psychology. And there are still so many other works of his.

Good luck anon. And some of his most important influences were Schopenhauer, Kant, Plato, Carl Gustav Carus and Hartmann. Jung actually said he was more of a Carusian than a Freudian while he was friends with Freud. And the Bible and various European religions obviously.

Wait he actually took musgrooms?

Watch Jordan Peterson until you have the basic skeletal structure and then read Archetypes of the Collective Unconscious and Aion

I would suggest routledge books and I would suggest following:

• Archetypes and Coll. Unconscious
• Aion
• Personality Development
• Civilization in transition
• Mysterium Conjunctionis aka psychology and alchemy
• Symbols of Transformation
• Psychology and religion: east and west
• Psychology and alchemy and alchemical studies is optional but this would be essential Jung process. His notes and practice related volumes would be waste of time if you are not a practicing jungian and even then it be a waste of time.
