Carl Jung For Gen Z

"Knowing your own shady side is the key to handling other people's drama."

- Carl Jung (paraphrased)

Carl Jung is not easy to read. That's why I came up with this book.

Its only purpose is to simplify Jung's ideas so you can better understand them.

Here's one of the (easier) paragraphs from "Psychological Types", to illustrate the general complexity of how Jung writes:

Whereas the Extravert continually appeals to what comes to him from the object, the Introvert relies principally on what the sense impression constellates in the subject. The difference in the case of a single apperception may, of course, be very delicate, but in the total psychic economy it makes itself felt in the highest degree, particularly in the effect it has on the ego.

In case you didn't know: "Psychological Types" is the very foundation of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. In fact, calling people Introverts and Extraverts was Jung's original idea.

So if you're already out there nerding out on MBTI, but haven't read the original literature yet, here's your chance.

This book is pretty much a literal adaptation of the original, paraphrased to be in Gen Z slang (or: more modern and less formal language).

It's a nice introduction for beginners as well as younger people who want to grasp the foundation of MBTI and the 16 personality types.

People who are well familiar with Carl Jung might find this read entertaining.

What makes this book so amazing (for the right people):

- Much shorter sentences

- Much shorter paragraphs

- Easy choice of words

- CAPS for emphasis

- Gen Z compatible vocabulary

For the sake of consistency I've also decided to deviate from certain grammatical and stylistic standards. Brace yourselves for one-sentence paragraphs and sentences starting with a conjunction.

We're trying to cater to Gen Z here.

Enjoy the book. Check out my Youtube channel (BasicMBTI). And please don't be shocked by what you are about to read.
