Living Jung: The Good and the Better

Robert B. MacIntyre is head of the Centre for Relationship Therapy and
Education in Orangeville, Ontario.

Daryl Sharp’s most recent reflections on life, living, and the
insights of Carl Jung are populated by a variety of figures in his life,
some perhaps living, some clearly metaphoric, all conversing fluently on
the writings of Jung. Admirers of Sharp’s previous books will
recognize some of the same players and some of the main points about
personality and development, and about consciously contemplating the
nature of life. New readers can enjoy the play of ideas and the view of
living from a mature perspective. Of all the psychoanalysts of our
century, Jung has always had the most to say about the later stages of
development and personality integration. This enjoyable record of
Sharp’s dialogues with 88-year-old Adam Brillig, together with his own
reflections, will provide readers with a well-seasoned slice of Jungian
insight.
