The Origins and History of Consciousness draws on a full range of world mythology to show how individual consciousness undergoes the same archetypal stages of development as human consciousness as a whole. Erich Neumann was one of C. G. Jung's most creative students and a renowned practitioner of analytical psychology in his own right. In this influential book, Neumann shows how the stages begin and end with the symbol of the Uroboros, the tail-eating serpent.

Great book, need a better narrator
Reviewed: 03-10-23
I had to buy this book in print to avoid listening to the narrator. The concept is amazing and interesting, but honestly, please get a new narration. The issue is this: the narrator has this 1950s professorial tone with an interesting but condescending tone throughout. Tragically, if he were British it would work, but the American accent (and I’m American) just doesn’t work.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
