I read Jung and was expecting like beautiful prose and life changing unique self help but it was just extremely schizo writings on dreams and obvious psychology quackery. Who can I read that will give me what I was expecting Jung to be?

I like him but it's not very unique stuff. It's all pretty obvious advice.

Agreed, interpretation of dreams is pretty good. Also The Divided Self.

Pete Walker maybe.

I think his fragment on the trajectory of life in "Psychology of the occult" was very beautiful.


Natural life is the nourishing soil of the soul. Anyone who fails to go along with life remains suspended, stiff and rigid in midair. That is why so many people get wooden in old age; they look back and cling to the past with a secret fear of death in their hearts. They withdraw from the life-process, at least psy-chologically, and consequently remain fixed like nostalgic pillars of salt, with vivid recollections of youth but no living relation to the present. From the middle of life onward, only he remains vitally alive who is ready to die with life. For in the secret hour of life's midday the parabola is reversed, death is born. The second half of life does not signify ascent, unfolding, increase, exuber-ance, but death, since the end is its goal. The negation of life's fulfilment is synonymous with the refusal to accept its ending. Both mean not wanting to live, and not wanting to live is identi-cal with not wanting to die. Waxing and waning make one curve.
