Jung and the Story of Our Time

Laurens van der Post was a long-time friend of Jung and here presents Jung as he knew him: Jung the man, the discoverer and explorer of a new dimension in the human spirit, rather than Jung the psychologist. Calling him a 'universal personality, one of the greatest since the Renaissance', van der Post writes much more than simply a biographical study of Jung.

Jung is a full-scale, unflinching attempt to convey the creative, pioneering greatness of the man and to show how his far-seeing vision has so greatly enlightened and enriched the spiritual poverty of modern man.

Reviews

For the first time the whole man is presented to the world. We are made aware not merely of his psychiatric achievement, but of the slow and painful self-development, the humour and warm humanity, the vital relevance to our troubled time, and the essential loneliness of this man of genius. An unforgettable portrait of a great man

—— Alan McGlashan

I rely on Stuart Diamond's negotiation tools every day.

Simply put, the world's best negotiator.

—— City AM

It's not surprising that, in an era of cuts and job losses, what folks most want to know about is Getting More.

—— The Times

From advising on how to negotiate with terrorists, to industrial disputes, to children, Diamond's twelve rules of negotiation promise to open new doors every day.

—— Radio One

Excellent - gives one the interest and confidence to start negotiating.

—— Irish Independent

The best negotiation book of all time.

—— Inc Magazine

A superb how-to book.

—— Kirkus Reviews

a great book...if you need to be reminded that there is value to be discovered in experiences when they seem nothing but pointless and painful, and choices to be made when you think you have none, I'd recommend it

—— Lauren Laverne

One wishes this book could get into the hands of all the suffering children who need it

—— Washington Post

This story of unfathomable child abuse is told with remarkable wit, compassion, and courage

—— Augusten Burroughs, author of Running with Scissors

Highly articulate … Her memories are real, not recovered

—— The Times
