Lot 97 | Carl Jung on happiness
Valeur estimée
$ 2 000 – 3 000
JUNG, Carl (1875-1961). Typed letter signed ("C.G. Jung") to Miss Harriet Hardy, Zurich, 24 January 1950.

One page, 148 x 210mm (extremely minor toning, light vertical crease).

"Happiness is not a thing one seeks": Writing from Switzerland, Jung declines advising a woman in Berkeley, California, as the distance between them makes it a "hopeless task." He does however offer the following advice. "I can only tell you one thing: that you should not set out to seek happiness for yourself. This would be a straight way to unhappiness. You better ask where and how you could be useful to whom. Happiness is not a thing one seeks. It comes to you as a reward for efforts."
