Growing Up Jung: Coming of Age as the Son of Two Shrinks »

Micah Toub grew up in Denver, Colorado, and now resides in Toronto, Canada, where he writes on psychology and other topics, including a biweekly column on relationships from a male point of view for The Globe & Mail.

Wild personal history meets irreverent survey of Jungian psychology in this memoir about growing up as the son of two shrinks.

The Washington Post - Carolyn See

There's nothing more endearing than a family memoir in which the author is actually fond of his family. It's rare; it's close to miraculous…I hated to see this book end. I loved every person in it, from the wistful dad with his "fluffy-edged" voice, to Toub's kind and darling mom, his tolerant and loving ex-wife, even that volcanic teenaged sister, who refused to tell stories about the ceiling. Growing Up Jung is a gem.
