Advice/guidance for reading Carl Jung if I've only barely read Nietzsche and Freud? Prior reading of other thinkers required, recommended, or mostly unnecessary? Any good places to start? Thx

The Portable Jung (1976) is a good starting collection.

I agree with Man and His Symbols as a good place to start—the “This Jungian Life” podcast also has some good breakdowns of concepts.

I'd start with Man and his Symbols. You don't need much prior knowledge.

Just started this in a two person book club, it seems to be easily read, and the art/photos are a great way to relate to the text
