Episode 5: Personality Types

I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity for another face-to-face interview with the living legend that is Daryl Sharp.

Mr. Sharp is a Zürich-trained Jungian analyst and the founder and general editor of Inner City Books in Toronto, Canada. He’s written over 30 books and for this interview we decided to discuss Personality Types: Jung’s Model of Typology, a true classic in the field of Jungian psychology.

Some of you may remember me tweeting that book cover-to-cover. It sure did get a lot of attention.

“I think typology is so important that it ought to be taught in high school...or early university...or at least when couples are planning to cohabit. And the same goes with complexes,” said Sharp.

Here’s what else Mr. Sharp had to say. We were able to talk for only around 25 minutes, so at the end of the episode I read a little bit from the concluding remarks of his book.

This interview was recorded in person on Oct. 11, 2015. It’s just over 43 minutes long and around 41 MB.
