How Jungian psychology transforms religious experience, thought, and symbol to yield a new form of modern spirituality suited for the modern world. "Minding the Self is a brilliant account of the spiritual dilemmas of our time, using Jung's life and work as a guide for modern readers. Murray Stein has a commendable style, which is scholarly and richly informed, and yet accessible to non-specialists and a general readership. He strikes the right note in this work, and should be rewarded by widespread recognition, from within and beyond the field of analytical psychology."- David Tacey, Professor of Literature, La Trobe University, Melbourne "No living Jungian analyst has a better understanding of what Jung meant by individuation than Murray Stein, and the fifteen modest chapters of this book, his masterpiece, make the case for Jung's project as a true "minding" of the self. Stein's luminous prose mirrors the consciousness in the midst of complexity that is its subject, making evident that a psychological attitude of self-reflection can be, just as Jung believed, a most natural way to experience the elusive but definite spirit of the divine." - John Beebe, author of Integrity in Depth
