What does it really mean to face a crisis of biblical proportions, the apocalypse we are currently in? Dr. Bud Harris, Jungian analyst, prolific writer, teacher, and healer of souls brings us face to face with this challenging question. Through his decades of experience and the teachings of Carl Jung he guides us into understanding the structure of the apocalypse we are experiencing and the destructive course it is taking as we continue down the road of self-deception. Focusing on the essential quote from Jung, ”Where love stops, power begins and violence, and terror,” he shows us the personal and collective darkness that is being unveiled. Then he leads us onto the healing path to restore love in a power-driven world and to change our fate—the path of outrageous courage, love, and compassion.\nFacing the Apocalypse gives us profound insights into understanding and dealing with the radical changes we face today. Inspiring wisdom and practical approaches give us a fresh look toward creating meaningful love for ourselves and casting out our fears of change and others. Dr. Harris’ invitations for reflection are like an open dialog with the reader, as he offers prompts for personal reflections and journaling.\nThis small but powerful book was borne out of Dr. Harris' personal mission: to call for love in treacherous times.

<ul> <li>What can citizens do to stop school shootings in America?</li> <li>Who or what is to blame for the ongoing massacres?</li> <li>Why do so many Americans own military-grade assault weapons?</li> <li>Why do some Americans become mass murderers?</li> <li>Where can we find the answers?</li> </ul> Every child has the right to be safe in school. It is our duty as adults to protect our children to our best ability and we are failing miserably in that task. As the terrifying number of mass shootings grows in our culture, Jungian analyst Bud Harris challenges Americans to drop their collective denial, come out from under the bed, and confront the realities creating this nightmare. Dr. Bud Harris examines causes and solutions for these ongoing mass murders and posits that the rational answer is not to "confiscate weapons," as the gun lobby falsely asserts, but rather to take an unflinching look at the deep rage propelling these shooters -- and then to act. He urges citizens to face our collective demons and no longer allow our political polarization to dictate a deep-seated sense that we as individuals, and as a society, no longer control our own destinies. He explains that pervasive feelings of anxiety, powerlessness, and alienation have paralyzed the country's leaders and its communities. The mistake, he says, is to continue invoking our classic American optimism, blindly believing that all will be well in the end, if we just endure. Instead, Harris urges us to be starkly realistic about where we've arrived as a culture and make critical changes now in the highest power structures of our nation. It is time for us to have the courage to face our failures and prove we value our children.

The morning sun is borne in the shadow of midnight. In this chaotic, ultra-important election year, Jungian analyst Bud Harris has stepped beyond his role as psychotherapist to speak in this book to our national heart and soul. Culling through his many years of political observation, he muses on the sources of our American discontent, proclaims that we must stop treating each other as enemies, and challenges each citizen to personally invest in a hopeful future. We owe this to our children and grandchildren, and, yes, to our founding fathers, he says. He considers the 2016 election to be a wake-up call for America. Perhaps more than any other, it has brought forth our national angst, forcing us to deal with shadows in our social psyche. Harris's experience as a trained Jungian analyst helps shine a light on those shadows, reports on how they have negatively affected many citizens' lives, including his own, and challenges us to face up to the transformative power that chaos can, in fact, provide. This is a book that lays the ground work with reference to historic political moments when leaders led us through uncertainty to wholesome strength. The American Revolution, the Depression, the civil rights movement ... all reflect national moments of chaos and shadow. Yet, through our democratic process - laid out in the Constitution - we have worked together as a nation, not only to thrive, but to lead the world. Our current era seems as uncertain and fearful as those historic episodes. However, once again, we Americans can muddle through the thrown darts and hurled animosities of today's political climate to step forward with clear vision and resolve. But we must face and examine our historical shadows and learn from them. The transformative power that can come from today's chaos is within reach. Read this book if you want to <ul> <li>examine and understand the chaotic political period we are experiencing as a nation,</li> <li>explore the effect our political choices today will have on our future, and</li> <li>learn how personal and political ideals are tightly bound in American society.</li> </ul> Dr. Bud Harris is one of the most prolific Jungian authors of our time. He's authored and co-authored 15 books, and has been in the field of Jungian psychology for 30 years. At 82 years old, he has a long-standing practice in Asheville, North Carolina, which is still thriving. He felt compelled to write The Midnight Hour because our historic moment in time so aptly reflects and calls forward a Jungian perspective, and he wants this opportunity to lead toward a great future for America.

Jungian analyst Dr. Bud Harris writes poignantly about the dramatic and mysterious nature of evil. This book is a journey deep into the psychological dimensions of evil and how the shadow sides of our personalities are intertwined with it to shape our personal lives and culture. The idea that evil exists in the world, in our lives, and in our thoughts, can bring on depression, sadness, and helplessness. We struggle with the concept. How do we find the courage to confront it, examine its nature, understand its origins, and, finally, embrace it as a difficult but important element in living a conscious life? "Most evil is not done by evil people, but by good people who don&#700;t know what they are doing." -Richard Niebuhr Confronting Evil offers a guide for "good people" to recognize evil, explore it in the world and within themselves, and transform it into something meaningful and hopeful. Designed as a seeker's guide and workbook, prompts for reflection are posed following each section. Blank pages allow you to make notes, reflect, or list personal assignments and challenges. Quotes from religious texts, philosophers, and thinkers - including psychoanalyst Carl Jung - are plentiful. And Harris uses powerful examples from his own practice as a Jungian analyst. The subject of evil and how to approach it is examined from multiple points of view. The benefits of doing this powerful inner work are clear. This book is for you if: <ul> <li>You have experienced the effects of evil within yourself and in the world around you.</li> <li>You want to examine the nature of evil and learn to understand it.</li> <li>You seek to understand how each of us can be a source of evil in the world, as well as good.</li> </ul> This short book began as a lecture Harris gave in 2014. That lecture has been expanded to explore additional thoughts dealing with the shadow of evil in current events, political realities, and what he sees as one of our culture's greatest societal challenges.

Becoming Whole: A Jungian Guide to Individuation

Happiness

In Radical Hope and the Healing Power of Illness, Jungian analyst Bud Harris, Ph.D., helps readers examine the emotional impact of illness and the life lessons, self-knowledge, and freedom that coping with difficult circumstances can provide.
Jungian psychology teaches that illnesses and problems can help people grow—to move beyond “normal” existence and the myth of “the good life.” Harris guides readers toward a transformation in thinking—to a more wholistic, authentic way to process the emotional effects and the deeper meanings of illness. This guide’s goal is not to “fix” sufferers or ignore and bury their emotional challenges. Rather, it leads them through a step-by-step process aimed at letting hardship open their minds and hearts to the possibilities of life, uncover inner strength, and become their own authentic selves.
Along the journey, Harris provides guideposts—checkpoints that help readers examine their reactions to what they’ve been learning and apply the concepts to their own lives.
Because physical illness has a heartfelt effect on the patient’s entire support network, loved ones, caregivers, and medical practitioners can also use this guide to connect with, better understand, and impactfully process illness and loss—toward a renewed, reenergized outlook on life.
"This whole journey that I am presenting in Radical Hope is directed toward us finding meaning and individuation through our illnesses. It is choosing the path of being a seeker. It is a radical perspective that brings radical hope, as we learn to understand that individuation itself is a radical series of transformations."
"As we realize that initiation is the rite of dying to an old life and being born into a new one, we see that illness, as an initiation, initiates us continually into knowing what it means to become more fully human. And becoming more fully human initiates us into becoming truly spiritual."
