    No, not really. It thoroughly describes the motives of the social lives of high-functioning, high-achieving puers. It also describes pretty well the creative intuitions of puers. Very little can be surmised from this material about terminally online malcontents with no social lives.

      Yes, written by one of Jung's (best) disciples. However, don't expect it to be a proper breakdown of what we TODAY call the "man child". The puer aeternus is more like Peter Pan syndrome, someone highly imaginative, hyperactive and emotionally puerile. The modern "man child" would probably be inconceivable 80 years ago when this was written, what with the associated consumerist lifestyle and possible onions-political connotations. The "book" is actually two lectures that mostly dives into mythological associations, half of which are dedicated to a psychoanalysis of The Little Prince. There's some unexpectedly convincing conclusions, like how the puer male never quite feels like he is living in the real world and never quite wants to feel "grounded". Throw in some mother complex stuff, and if you're into the whole Jungian thing then it's pretty cool.

          It's a rather nerdy discussion, like i said, a lot about mythology, so I dont believe there's much in the way of moralizing. AFAIK, there's some talk about dysfunctional relationships with women (the classic turning-your-wife-into-your-mother problem), and some stuff about drug abuse (again, not wanting to live in the real world). Also, some stuff about the chronic melancholy and longing of the man child (nothing is ever good enough because he is essentially a selfish and comfort-seeking). But there's also a lot about the puer condition being a grounds for creative genius, because the puers domain is essentially one of daydreaming and spontaneity. Maybe there's not a WHOLE lot about that, but its something i remembered the most (not having read it in a while), being a puer and artist myself.
          It takes me a great deal effort to maintain myself as a "respectable and normal" person, while actually i live in a fantasy world.

            Von Franz is a woman. Anyway, I know that in one of Jung's works about the puer aeternus, he suggests hard work, probably something akin to workaholism, that is, finding work the puer can become wholly involved in and potentially project his fantasies into. I believe there is some mention in Von Franz about historically many men who turned to monasticism possibly being puers -- which is an amazing thought because what I liked most in Von Franz is that she sees how many high-intelligence puers usually end up "playing with ideas instead of toys" as they get older. I can't imagine many "serious" men engaging long periods of time in religious ideation or philosophical pursuits. Just ask them. They think it's "a waste of time".

            My father is a bonafide puer, but luckily he grew up in an age where the culture was less geared toward children and entertainment (no internet). Like a true high-functioning puer, he was in college for like fifteen years getting pointless degrees and eventually became an engineer when his wife forced him to get a stable job.

            Sounds like the dream. Instead I got a degree in econ that I didn't care much for and ended up working an email job that pays well but is creatively unfulfilling. I spend most of my free time playing video games that incorporate some sort of worldbuilding like Paradox games or Minecraft thinking of a headcanon for what I'm doing in them or thinking of story ideas that I can never actually put into words on paper or actualize in any creatively meaningful way. My dad is a serious man and always says I'm lazy and think too much.Nothing in this world that you could devote hard work to seems worthwhile, it always just ends up being numbers on spreadsheets or endless meetings about boring minutiae

Psychologists only really care to turn you into a kind of parody reflective of the image of a social ideal that never quite was realistic, nor did exist.

            The entire debate, especially the use of the term "puer", seems frivolous and a simple matter of perspective. "Serious men" are men who are grossly composed and fixated upon the senses, "eternal boys" are men who are simply more oriented towards the immaterial and eternal, at least judging from the description you've given (although I doubt this is what was originally meant by the psychologists in question). All it takes is a simple reversal of perspective and these "serious men" are themselves simply sense-bound, thick children, who are nevertheless highly capable of achieving their particular desires, which is how I've always viewed them. Nietzsche said it himself, "no one is more serious than a child at play", and applied this to all adults, not just one specific subcategory which aren't enticed by the allures of the regular gross man who "loves work." The only things that change substantially from childhood are this: 1) What is considered "play", the obvious answer, and 2) the fixation on "means" or "ends." Fixation on "ends" is the typically "adult" behavior, which is mutually exclusive with the concept of a child being at play, so this is easily the most sure way of distinguishing between a mature and childish attitude, with the only difference being that in this case, the mature attitude is actually the more repulsive and cynical one, one that no one enjoys nor wants to be around. Its sole benefaction is being "practical", "producing results", and has its "uses" no matter how ugly it is (the entire modern world is an effigy or monument to this ugliness). Fixation on "means", more accurately the activity itself, wanting the act and the result only as part of the act, is the childish criterion, but again, in this case the value judgement is reversed and it is, taken on its own, the ideal attitude, the healthiest and most vigorous attitude you can have. The only meaningful distinction we are left with is the distinction between the entirely superficial "childish" activities (the examples being so obvious they hardly need to be mentioned) and "adult" activities, all of which appear as a matter of course with age and experience.

            you are quite right, though, without having read OP's book, there is still quite a difference between the imaginative and almost intoxicated artist type fixated upon their fantasies and dreams in the vein of holderlin, kleist, nietzsche etc. or even in certain types of mystics, compared to those of a sagacious and calm fixation upon the eternal like that of a plotinus or a buddha. both have the same view of the ordinary sense-bound wordling as like children drawn hither and tither by useless merely 'practical' ends, yet the former dionysian type certainly has the tendency towards the pathological, seen especially in the three I mentioned, where they are ultimately destroyed by their own excesses of emotional vigour and lifting of the veil into madness. certainly they created great works in the process, but ordinary men with the same tendencies but without the capacity for greatness run the risk of drifting, neither finding those abodes of greatness and ecstasy nor finding any grounding in the 'practical' world of the senses, often even being ultimately 'controlled' by their sentimentality. thats especially where the pathological aspect comes in, using fantasy as an 'escape' from the world and so on. goethe perhaps represents a more perfected balancing of these two ends. on the other hand, the sagacious type risks very little of this type of drifting, but kills all sentimentality and artistic vision, preferring the unbinding of the eternal rest of intellect rather than the creative spontaneity of mental play detached from the actuality of sense input. two different levels of fixation on the immaterial

        I think the more fundemental difference is more the internet, which gives a person the possibility to dissassociate while retaining a warped outlet of social and world interaction. if you see the “type” to be terminally IQfy or internet in general back in say the 70’s or 80’s, they would generally still be more well adjusted as they have to interact irl, but also have little geek clubs doing dnd or whatever.
        I think the consumerism is a secondary factor that exacerbates the primary.

            Psychology is really among the ranks of what are (by definition) pseudoscientific fields like astrology, homeopathy, animal magnetism and so on (which I personally don't think there's anything wrong with actually, they all work to some degree.) Originally in the 19th century there was a struggle between all these fields for legitimacy and it just so happens that psychology, some will say because of its israeli origins, was vetted and chosen by the status quo of modern industrial society, and used as a weapon for propaganda and as a quasi-religious inquisition of this aforementioned force and its models of ideal human behaviour. So no I won't take my meds.

            I'm not even claiming psychology is le bad or doesn't work. I don't use the term "pseudoscience" as a pejorative. I just think in the case of psychology we really have to ask ourselves what "science" is. Is it objective and methodical investigation into the nature of the noumenal world or is it merely a metaphysically hollow label of approval from the "Cathedral" so to speak? How can psychology fit the former description when the psyche itself cannot be shown to exist in scientific terms and exists merely as a post-hoc explanation of the complex that is the mind and the subtle body interacting with the world? How can we afford such a field the status of a society wide ethical driver while shunning other similar fields as flawed, nonsensical, or worse yet: anti-social misinformation?
