Dr. Jordan Peterson said the following about a book written by Carl Jung called Aion: “If you want to have nightmares for the rest of your life, that’s a really good book to read. I mean, that book just terrified me.”

Published in 1951, Aion is one of Carl Jung’s most important works from his later years. The title Aion is derived from the Greek word Aeon, referring to the age (aeon) of Christianity. Throughout Aion Jung discussed the collective psychic development represented by the Christian era. What makes Aion such a scary book? Aion is mostly considered to be a scary book because it deals with the unknown and the consequences which we will inevitably face if we do not want to come to understand the unknown.
