Episode 163: Robert Langan

Author: Laura London August 13, 2026 Duration: 1:18:10
Jungian scholar and author Dr. Robert H. Langan joined us to discuss his book, Jung and Spinoza: Passage Through the Blessed Self, and shared his thoughts on the new Steven Spielberg film Disclosure Day.

In a world saturated with quick takes, Speaking of Jung: Interviews with Jungian Analysts offers a different pace: deep, thoughtful conversations about the enduring ideas of Carl Gustav Jung. Host Laura London, from her base in Chicago, engages certified Jungian Analysts in discussions that make complex psychological concepts accessible and relevant to modern life. This isn't an academic lecture series; it's a series of personal, exploratory dialogues. Listeners hear about the practical application of Jungian theory, from understanding dreams and symbols to grappling with concepts like the shadow, individuation, and the collective unconscious. Each episode delves into how these foundational ideas intersect with culture, personal fitness, mental health, and our ongoing journey of self-improvement. The podcast provides a rare opportunity to listen as seasoned analysts share their clinical insights, personal reflections, and the ways Jung's work continues to illuminate the human experience. Laura's thoughtful questioning guides these conversations into nuanced territory, creating a space where both the profound and the everyday aspects of psyche are examined. For anyone curious about depth psychology, seeking a richer understanding of their own inner world, or simply tired of superficial self-help, this series serves as a compelling gateway. The discussions naturally evolve, often touching on how societal forces shape individual psychology, making the podcast a unique resource at the crossroads of education and personal discovery. By focusing exclusively on conversations with practicing analysts, the podcast offers authenticity and depth you won't find elsewhere.
