Carl Jung - Love the Enemy Within (Read by Alan Watts)

Sep 9, 2025

Carl Gustav Jung (26 July 1875 " 6 June 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and psychologist who founded the school of analytical psychology. A prolific author of over twenty books, illustrator, and correspondent, Jung was a complex and profound academic, best known for his concept of archetypes and the shadow.

Jung's work has been influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology, and religious studies and is widely regarded as one of the most influential psychologists in history.

Alan Wilson Watts (6 January 1915 " 16 November 1973) was a British and American writer, speaker, and self-styled "philosophical entertainer", known for interpreting and popularising Buddhist, Taoist, and Hindu philosophy for a Western audience.

I love listening to Alan Watts.

The man has an incredible voice and a soothing manner to his speaking.

I first discovered Alan Watts freshman college year.

He had a show once a week on 90.7 KPFK at like 2 in the morning on Thursdays, and the only place the reception would come through clearly was in this one residential neighborhood up on a hill.

We'd drive there every Thursday and get really high and listen to him.

Good times. Great memories. Great man.
