The marriage of Jung and Star Trek

I read this book many years ago and thought it was pretty good, but nothing special. After reading it, I passed it on. Yet, over the years, I found myself time and again remembering it and its message about the achetypal models present in each of the Star Trek shows. Picard as the leader; Worf as the Warrior; Troi as the Communicator, etc. I read other books on the Jungian concept of achetypes, but none seemed to "connect" as much as this book did. It took a long time for me to find this book again (I couldn't remember the title or the author!) but when I re-read it recently, I realized that its lessons were simple but profound. Not "new agey" but sound psychological concepts that can help us live better lives. I can't say that it literally "changed my life" but it has had a fairly powerful and positive impact on it. On a prosaic note, the book goes as far as DS9.

This cassette is life-changing!!

I listened to this cassette and I am sure it will change my life. This cassette shows you how to make Star Trek and its superb characters an every day part of your living and growth as a human being. It explains how we can improve mankind and how we can bring the 'real' universe closer to the Star Trek universe. It is a must for any Trekker who is seeking to become more like her or his favorite Star Trek character or to fill the emptiness in his or her life. It will help you become a warrior like Worf, a leader like Kirk, a relator like Guinan, or an analyst like Spock. It is definately the best way to spend a few dollars
