The Inner World of Choice

A classic of applied Jungian psychology by Jung’s longstanding friend & colleague.

To read The Inner World of Choice to start the long journey out of darkness , to find at last a way to the definitive choice in life: whether to remain a mirror of one’s environment, of outer circumstances – or to break through these and find authentic selfhood. There is an austere beauty in Mrs. Wickes’s description of  the punishment of choice, of responsibility, of self-awareness, and self-judgement. The stark necessity for confronting one’s real inner life is the driving force in every line. The Inner World of Choice is filled with fascinating case histories, sketches of dreams, concrete incidents. In reading each experience, the ultimate moment of truth revealed becomes a further step along along the road to self-awareness: to fulfilling oneself as a creative human being.
