Books and Media Recommendations

[phil]

Recommendations

Post a new topic here with the title of a favourite book, video, CD or other media loosely related to Met, CL, CS and SyM. Optionally, include some of your reasons for recommending the item - if you do, please keep it compact.

Note: The 'loosely related' above means that so long as you can argue some kind of relationship to things cognitive, conceptual, psychological, metaphorical, etc, even a recipe book will fit the bill.

Beware of using long quotations of copyrighted material. Short and sweet is probably okay if you reference authors appropriately - the responsibilty for this rests with you.

Please supply all the reference data that you know to help others get hold of the item. Ideally, we suggest a minimum of:

Author(s)
Title
Publisher
Year Published

Additional Information can help when looking for an old or out-of-print volume:

ISBN (or other reference number)
Where it was published
Where you bought your copy

Queries

If you only know the title or the author, for example, leave a post requesting more information - others on the board may have what you need.

Voting

You may also offer people the chance to vote for your book.

When you have finished writing your recommendation, type a Poll question in the section called "Add a Poll" below your message. Fill out at least two Poll options for people to select between (see the poll question above this message).

An example is a Poll question of "Would you recommend this book too?" and two options: "Yes" and "No".

You can have more than two options. For example, to rate something from 1-5 or "Excellent" to "Execrable", add in five Poll options.

This is an often-quoted reference book for SyM, and having actually read it from cover to cover recently I was bowled over with its reference and connections to CL and SyM. This might be stating the obvious for those of you from a psychology-trained background, but me from a business / NLP history I found Jung's insights to be absolutely astounding, and it deepened my understanding of how and why CL and SyM works.
