Rule #1: What You Refuse to Face Will Control You
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung
Rule #2: Your Persona Is Not Your Self
Jung warned about the danger of the persona—the mask you wear to be acceptable.
Your job title.
Your reputation.
Your “put-together” identity.
Rule #3: Meaning Is More Important Than Happiness
This rule offends modern self-help.
Rule #4: You Must Integrate Your Shadow—or It Will Sabotage You
The Shadow is the part of you you disown:
- jealousy
- selfishness
- aggression
- ambition
- vulnerability
Rule #5: Individuation Is Lonely—but Non-Negotiable
Individuation—the process of becoming who you actually are—is Jung’s central idea.
