“Carl Jung, the onetime associate of Sigmund Freud who died more than 60 years ago. If you think you have a complex about something, the Swiss psychiatrist invented that term. Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Those are his coinages, too. Persona, archetype, synchronicity: Jung, Jung, Jung.”
Jung’s strategy was built on five pillars for a good life:
A. Good physical and mental health:
B. Good personal and intimate relations, such as those of marriage, family, and friendships:
C. Seeing beauty in art and in nature:
D. A reasonable standard of living and satisfactory work:
But it is on meaningful work he adds nuance: “The two elements that make work meaningful for most people are earned success (a sense of accomplishing something valuable) and service to others”
E. A philosophical or religious outlook that fosters resilience:
….Religious belief has been noted as strongly predictive of finding meaning in life, and spirituality is positively correlated with better mental health; both faith and spiritual practice seem protective against depression.”
Brooks ends with his own practical seven-point summary for us.
