"[This book] is integrative and explains a great deal for people who have been perplexed by the difficulty of the Jungian corpus. Importantly, it lays a groundwork that might inspire other readers, both technical and nontechnical, to take a look at Jung as someone who built up astonishingly current concepts." - Richard Gray, PsyCritiques, August 2012, Vol. 57

"...a compelling examination of ancient magical beliefs in the modern light of cognitive neuroscience that provides a rich framework and conceptual bridge for the author's assertions and often brilliant observations." -Douglas Lehrer, MD, Wright State University.
