Synopsis

Living the unexamined life may not be the most successful way to proceed through this world. It certainly hasn't wordked for thirty year old Arthur Loveday, who has failed to impress both his employers and the woman he has fallen in love with. An industrial psychologist, attempting to assess him for future employment, says he can never succeed at anything until he has worked out who he really is. From that point on, Arthur finds himself persistently chivvied by Fate into a spiritual quest to find his true Self. But who or what is the ultimate guide on this quest? The works of the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung, pressed on him by a very erudite Indian gentleman? The ex-voodoo priestess turned esoteric psychologist, who has both an MSc and a stone altar in the basement? Or is it really the small orphan kitten that Arthur finds abandoned in a pet shop window?

Goodreads review by Angel on February 25, 2023

This book is a great concept and does simplify some aspects of Jungian ideology. It served as more recall to previous research than a teaching agent on its own, but was very fun. Lots of laughs, a few tears, and the audiobook was very bingable. Some parts of the writing feel a bit stiff. I'm interest......more

Goodreads review by HELEN on November 15, 2016

I really enjoyed this book! Could tell from the first page I was going to like it. It is unusual but easy to read and flows well. Well-drawn characters and funny while at the same time an allegorically interesting tale. The style seems sophisticated yet easy; a bit like a less-tight (more relaxed) v......more
