The Man Who Solved Life

Do you ever stop to wonder why certain types of people just instantly piss you off? According to the philosophy of Carl Jung, there might be something deep within you that’s just like that “annoying” person. It’s the part of us that we refuse to see, our shadow. But embracing this part of us might bring forth answers to questions about ourselves we’ve always had.
