The Undiscovered Self: The Dilemma of the Individual in Modern Society

The Undiscovered Self: The Dilemma of the Individual in Modern Society

One of the worldâ€™s greatest psychiatrists reveals how to embrace our own humanity and resist the pressures of an ever-changing world.
Â
In this challenging and provocative work, Dr. Carl Jungâ€”one of historyâ€™s greatestÂ mindsâ€”argues that civilizationâ€™s future depends on our ability as individuals to resist the collective forces of society. Only by gaining an awareness and understanding of oneâ€™s unconscious mind and true, inner natureâ€”â€œthe undiscovered selfâ€â€”can we as individuals acquire the self-knowledge that is antithetical to ideological fanaticism. But this requires that we face our fear of the duality of the human psycheâ€”the existence of good and the capacity for evil in every individual.

In this seminal book, Jung compellingly argues that only then can we begin to cope with the dangers posed by mass societyâ€”â€œthe sum total of individualsâ€â€”and resist the potential threats posed by those in power.
