Carl Gustav Jung's Red Book is a description of Jung's encounter with his soul. Some say that it's also about his mid-life crisis, during which Jung asks himself what he must do with his life. He questions the strong possibility that his current thinking about the human psyche may need to shift to another way of exploring what lies behind the observable.
Jung developed the Red Book, both writing and art work, beginning in 1913. He developed many of the concepts of his Analytic Psychology while he wrote the Red Book, essentially his look into himself, revealing insights into a new dimension of the inner world and of the innermost dimension of the powerful psyche. All his future writings are in essence the elaboration, expansion, amplification, and organization of his experience with the erupting manifestations of his inner world into his consciousness. The book remained unpub-lished for nearly 100 years. After his death in 1961, it remained in the possession of his family and was not published widely until 2009.
