Your Ego Is Showing: What Jung Warned About | Carl Jung

You finally get the promotion, the grade, the number you promised yourself. The feeling lasts about a day. By the weekend you are already looking at the next number, and quietly checking whether anyone noticed. Carl Jung had a way of reading this: your ego is showing. Not arrogance, but a small, necessary part of you that has started to believe it is all of you. In this video: what the ego really is for Jung, why trophies cannot carry an identity, inflation and its mirror image, how Jung read Nietzsche's Zarathustra, what happened to Jung himself in 1913, three signs that your ego is overreaching, and a one-day experiment you can try this week.
