Here's a list I made a while back:

-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.

Individuation and the shadow
Most people think of the shadow as "the bad side of you", but it's really about inverting and embracing the parts of yourself you repressed to be who you are now

Just rotate through all the youtube channels that do videos on him, quite a selection from 5 minute videos to entire series of lectures.

you don't. He's a non-entity who tried to make it big as a "scientist," failed at that, and is now repackaged as a "philosopher" instead

Is your list preferable to just reading his works in release order?

[Anonymous No.16781163]

>>16781089
Not him, but I would say yes. Jung's bibliography is huge and his ideas weren't as developed and fleshed-out in his early works. Anon's list lets you focus on the essentials in a beginner-friendly way. You can always go back and read his early works later on.

I would recommend starting with an introductory text on Jung that goes over all his basic concepts, but if not chapter one of man and his symbols is a good place to start. After that, I would strongly recommend the undiscovered self

Jung is boring

Good list. Quite heavy on the fundamentals and
introductory works, but that's a choice.

[Anonymous No.16781626]
