>>4726106The Red Book is pretty much the last thing you should read and only if you're really really into him. it's his own personal writing and it's still debated if it's meant to be published or not.
The entry-point is Man and His Symbols. It's a collection of essays, the first by himself and the rest by pupils he thought would best represent him. It's meant to be a layman's introduction but that doesn't mean it's super easy either. After that you know the basics of his main ideas and can look into secondary literature.
Note also the concepts that you care and speak to you and look specifically into those. It's important to have fun when researching.
I'm sorry I can't rec you proper secondary literature because all I read on him is in german. I can warn you about two things though:
1) Beware falling into Joseph Campbell's interpretation exclusively. It's only one of many but he's held up as THE Jung-scholar and his fame for having inspired George Lucas often overshadows the actual work.
2) You'll come across Jung's writing that has him supportive of the Third Reich. He was pre-WW2, pre-Anschluss, because he had hoped it would revive a mythological german-spirit. When WW2 started he expressed great regret in his words and helped the Red Cross in Switzerland accepting refugees. Despite this change of heart many people still hold a grudge regards to that.
Sorry for the substanceless ramble. I'll try to find a litchart and post it in the trashcan.
