"Psychology and Alchemy" by Carl Jung stands as a monumental bridge connecting the seemingly disparate domains of psychology and alchemy. Through its pages, Jung embarks on a profound exploration, unveiling the rich tapestry of symbols and processes in alchemy that mirror the depths of the human psyche. This work delves into the heart of transformation, both alchemical and psychological, revealing the intricate ways in which these ancient practices reflect our deepest struggles, aspirations, and the path to individuation. Jung masterfully illustrates how the arcane symbols and stages of alchemy parallel the transformative journey of the soul, offering insights that resonate with the modern quest for meaning. Through a meticulous study of dreams, myths, and the alchemical tradition, "Psychology and Alchemy" emerges as a critical text that not only bridges historical and psychological realms but also serves as a guide for those seeking to understand the profound mysteries of the self and its journey towards wholeness.

Recommended on Jordan Peterson's website.
People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
— Carl Jung, Psychology and Alchemy
