Carl Jung, the Shadow, and Becoming Whole | Leslie Stein

Episode 213

Wednesday, September 18, 2024 • Duration 58:26

📮 Want tools for the art of living? Sign up here: https://perennial.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode of In Search of Wisdom, my guest is Leslie Stein, the author of Becoming Whole: Jung’s Equation for Realizing God. Prof. Stein is a Jungian analyst and graduate of the C.G. Jung Institute of New York and is in private practice in Sydney, Australia. Today’s episode is a rebroadcast. Since we’re exploring Carl Jung’s ideas for ‘Reading and the Good Life’ this month (our Book Club for the Perennial Meditations newsletter), I thought it would be a good time to share it.

Key Takeaways:

The meaning of Individuation
Obstacles to understanding the ‘Self’
Why we ‘seek wisdom’
The role of the ‘Ego’ in daily life
