Start with The Archetypes and the Collective Consciousness, then move on to Aion, then on to whatever interests you. End with his autobiography.
If you're struggling with The Archetypes, start with Man and His Symbols instead.

just skim the wiki article bro

Jung is for pseuds who think they're above new-age bullshit but in reality aren't that much smarter than the typical sucker.

>>9489313
This.

Also, understanding Nietzsche before reading him is a good idea.

I'm a brainlet. Will I find Jung hard to follow?

Directed towards you, but also in general: Jung often masquerades as simple philosopher/psychoanalyst with poor writing ability, but if you are able to take into account what's going on behind the scenes, and what Jung is *really* trying to say, he acquires as much depth and difficulty as Nietszche or Heidegger. You'll need some background on the psychoanalytical movement and its relation to Nietszche and Marx, as well as some critical perspectives of Jung to really understand him (I recommend Kaufmann's Discovering the Mind Volume 3, namely the sections on Freud & Jung, Adler is mostly anecdotal for your understanding). That being said, Jung is very boring in my experience reading him; he tends to meander around, changing subjects meaninglessly before ending a line of thought without a conclusion. Don't go into it if you're not acutely interested in what he has to say.

Is it a big boy thing to LARP your way into the world because you're too much of a pussy to deal with the reality of it?

Not that anon but you're a young edgy dork with a chip on his shoulder.
>i'm an e-egoist, mom

>>9492870
It's edgy to care about yourself? Haha says something about you.

>>9492900

Haha I'm only joking I'm also a practicing egoist. They fear our power, brother! That bit about you being a young edgy dork was clearly a ruse on my part.

I started with autobiography and I found it a good starting point.
