Clever and ambitious, Emma Jung yearned to study the natural sciences at the University of Zurich. But the strict rules of proper Swiss society at the beginning of the 20th century dictated that a woman of Emma's stature - one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland - travel to Paris to "finish" her education, to prepare for marriage to a suitable man. Engaged to the son of one of her father's wealthy business colleagues, Emma's conventional and predictable life was upended when she met Carl Jung.

And yet despite the test's widespread adoption, experts in the field of psychometric testing, a $500 million industry, struggle to account for its success - no less validate its results.

The story of Emma and Carl Jung's highly unconventional marriage, their relationship with Freud and their part in the early years of psychoanalysis. Emma Jung was clever, ambitious and immensely wealthy, one of the richest heiresses in Switzerland when, aged 17, she met and fell in love with Carl Jung, a handsome, penniless medical student. Determined to share his adventurous life and to continue her own studies, she was too young to understand Carl's complex personality or conceive the dramas that lay ahead.

"Du bist so emotional", klingt nicht nach einem Kompliment, schon gar nicht in der Arbeitswelt. Im Job zeigt man keine Gefühle, stören sie doch das Arbeitsklima. Auf einen cholerischen Chef oder die weinende Kollegin verzichtet man gerne. Doch diese Sichtweise wird den Emotionen und ihrem positiven Einfluss nicht gerecht. Und überhaupt: Emotionen werden viel zu stark unterschätzt. Sie sind wichtig, will man Entscheidungen treffen oder kreativ zu sein. Auch um empathisch zu sein und wenn man sich mit seiner ganzen Persönlichkeit im Job einbringen will, geht das nicht ohne Gefühle.

What are the moments that make a life? In Francis Crick’s, the decisive moment came in 1951, when he first met James Watson. Their ensuing discovery of the structure of DNA made Crick world-famous. But neither that chance meeting nor that discovery made Crick who he was. As Matthew Cobb shows in Crick, it is another chance encounter, with a line from the writing of Beat poet Michael McClure, that reveals Crick’s character: “THIS IS THE POWERFUL KNOWLEDGE,” it shouted. Crick, having read it, would keep it with him for the rest of his life.

Where do human societies come from? The drive to answer this question took on a new urgency in the nineteenth century, when a generation of archaeologists began to look beyond the bible for the origins of different cultures and civilizations. Zelia Nuttall threw herself into the study of Aztec customs and cosmology, eager to use the tools of the emerging science of anthropology to prove that modern Mexico was built over the ruins of ancient civilizations.

SIGMUND FREUD (1856-1939) es conocido por ser el fundador del psicoanálisis, una teoría sobre cómo funciona la mente y un método para ayudar a las personas a resolver sus problemas mentales. Desarrolló una nueva visión de la existencia humana que socavó los valores culturales de su época, por lo que en un inicio despertó una gran hostilidad. Pero a medida que el psicoanálisis se difundió, Freud consiguió seguidores en todo el mundo.
