A must for any man or boy!

From the perspective of a man living in the Western world, I recognize that initiation rites into maturity (for males and females) are essentially non-existent. Society has forfeited its role to government and the result has been none to kind. We do not have mentors, there is no great wisdom being passed down from one generation to another, but thankfully we do have a few select books that can at least point the way.

Claire Dunne seamlessly curates these very personal accounts of Jung‘s life using letters to people who mattered to him at various times in his life and letters by others expressing their feelings about him and his thoughts. If you are not totally familiar with Carl Jung‘s work, it serves as a great introduction and you will enjoy this deep dive into what moved him to develop various theories and how he came about them throughout his life.

Oof, I found this provocative, humbling, reassuring, and very timely: I am well and truly in the midlife chrysalis!
It's very Jungian, which is fine but it does mean that his one strategy is to get a good therapist.
Hmm... I'm going to be doing a lot of journalling and thinking-walks. 😊

The lineage of this test making it to me was, I think, @ElizaMarie from @Chrissyreadit from @TieDyeDude from @The_Book_Ninja

Despite flaws in the test, for a former subscriber to Ms. Magazine, someone who saw Gloria Steinem speak at Duke University, who participated in Take Back the Night rallies, and whose later feminism was strongly influenced by work with birthing and childrearing families, it's a quick look at where feminism is today.

Chrissyreadit I‘m so curious! it looks like you have a more moderate approach to feminism and i am genuinely wondering what major influences were? I suspect we grew up during same time frame- i also subscribed to Ms and follow Steinem. I‘m enjoying seeing all the results and many of the questions i think would have been answered differently (by me) with a more nuanced approach. 1mo
TieDyeDude The ecofeminism stuff really threw me. I'm sure this barely scratches the surface, but it was an interesting exercise. 1mo

ImperfectCJ @Chrissyreadit My moderate results are likely a combination of a bit of an allergy to making decisive declarative statements (i.e., thumbs up or double thumbs up) about nuanced issues, and the fact that a lot of these nuanced issues are presented as decisive and declarative. My influences are varied and include the tagged, women's studies classes in the late 90s, watching how women are treated by the medical system, and Audre Lord, to name a few. 1mo
ImperfectCJ *Audre Lorde. Especially this book of hers (I'm not big on poetry, but I like essays). 1mo
ImperfectCJ @TieDyeDude Agreed. And also how the questions/statements seem to use patriarchy and capitalism interchangeably (although that might have been a misinterpretation on my part). 1mo
Chrissyreadit @TieDyeDude I agree! i tend to see eco through a financial lens- and can see how it is more nuanced and intersected. @ImperfectCJ Yes- i was surprised by some of the statements tbh. I have a very inclusive view of feminism but some of those statements were clearly exclusive- unless perhaps more nuances were to be presented. Either way it‘s making me think and want to have conversations and i love anything that does that. 1mo
ImperfectCJ @Chrissyreadit Yes! The test results themselves feel uncomfortably segmented. This is a tendency in our culture right now that feels quite uncomfortable for me...as someone who's spent her adult life working to open up definitions of gender and feminism, it's disorienting to see my GenZ children embracing such granular labeling and definitions. I can't say it's bad, just not what I expected. 1mo
ElizaMarie I think some of my answers were more related to me being in health care. Gender identity is a huge part of what we are discussing at the workplace and having family members and friends who are nonbinary, transgender and in same sex relationships made me consider those statements more carefully. That and being a Latina in Vermont. I think if I filled it out while still living in south TX I might not have answered similarly. (edited) 1mo
Chrissyreadit @ElizaMarie For me it really felt more like differentiating between what are considered societal norms and what i truly believe. Also i consider myself a fairly rabid feminist so was surprised by some of my own initial responses. I also wonder what responses my colleagues in my clinic would have. 1mo
ElizaMarie @Chrissyreadit I really enjoyed this “exercise”. I feel like I need to either read more or engage more with people and have these discussions more regularly. 1mo
The_Book_Ninja Thank you to everyone who tagged me. I‘ve enjoyed seeing the varied results 1mo

Feeling utterly frazzled earlier by the unending, inescapable human noise of the day. What a relief to have a thoughtful book to immerse myself in!

Man and His Symbols | Carl Gustav Jung

A good introduction for those who are interested in Jungian Psychology. I should have read it earlier, as it gives you a new perspective on the unconscious. Jung, breakdown the unconscious into Personal and Collective Unconscious. The book also delves into ideas like Persona, Shadow, Psyche, Anima, and Animus.

A little late, but these are some of the books I received this holiday. What were your bookish gifts? Have you read any of these yet?

One of my friends recommended Jung the psychologist a while back, so I got it on sale, and look forward to reading it.
