Carl Jung, the Shadow, and Becoming Whole
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.
“The equation presents the journey that can be taken by an individual to develop what Jung called the “Self,” which is the intimation we all have of wholeness or the awareness of some transcendent “other” that then occupy the foreground while other issues recede into the background. It is both a psychological journey and a mystical path.”

***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.
