"The book serves as a mirror for readers to examine the fascinating field of Jungian psychology.

The book goes beyond typical self-help literature and combines elements of memoir, mythology, Jungian philosophy, and astrology in a novel way.
The author discusses the lack of guidance and curriculum in our lives in the chapter titled "Why Don't I Come with an Instruction Manual (And Other Questions)" and invokes fond childhood memories. The book further delves into the concept of the natal chart and its association with oneself. Represented by the zodiacal wheel and its signs, the natal chart becomes an invaluable tool for self-understanding.
"Exploring the Secrets Within: An Excursion of Self-Revelation" perfectly encapsulates the essence of "Why Am I Like This?"
