Eternal Boy, a classic of the " Metamorphosis" by the poet Ovid . He comes from the Ancient Greek maternal worship ceremony. He is also a child who is deeply surrounded by his mother's love and cannot complete the individualization process and grow up and mature. The author believes that the phenomenon of eternal youth will become increasingly common.

's work deeply analyzes the problems of "eternal boy" in the popular " Little Prince " and "The Kingdom of Spaceless"; deeply interprets the psychological and life difficulties of "eternal boy" and makes suggestions; at the same time, the original book illustrations of "Little Prince" are attached, combining text and image analysis to show the diverse faces of Jung's analysis skills.

Wonderful Book Excerpt:

Eternal boy must learn to deal with work he doesn't like, rather than just doing work with great enthusiasm, because doing work with great enthusiasm is something everyone can do. Even primitive people who are considered lazy can do it because once people are enthusiastic about something, they can even reach the point of exhaustion. I will not regard such things as work, it is just a manifestation of the heart being taken away by the celebration of work. The job of healing the eternal boy is the kind of boring things he must kick himself out of the bed on a gloomy morning, and then repeat them again and again, one by one must be done by absolute willpower.

A truly great artist will always be an eternal teenager at first, but they can go further, which is a question related to emotional judgment. If a man stops becoming an eternal teenager and stops becoming an artist, then he is never a real artist.

Individualization process is the inner growth process that an individual depends on; the individual cannot escape from it. If an individual says it and refuses to accept it, then, since you are not in it, it will grow in a way that goes against you. Then your inner growth will kill you. If you refuse to grow, growth will kill you, which means that if the person is completely childish and does not have other possibilities, there will naturally not be too many things happening. But if this person has a greater personality possibility—that is, the possibility of growth—then psychological disorder will occur.

The biggest problem we have carried with us since childhood is the big bag of illusions on our backs, and we carry them all the way into adulthood. The subtlety of growth lies in giving up specific illusions, but not becoming cynical.

Eternal teenagers usually tend to avoid the current contact with a sense of stability. He did not enter the paradise below. This is the part he despises, and he also despises the implementation of his life's instinct.

"Eternal Boy" is an important and common prototype in Jung's theory, manifested as the ideal appearance of children and teenagers. They are youthful, full of vitality, eccentric, and unrestrained, making people love and hate; they are unlimited in creativity, dare to love and hate, brave to move forward, and go on adventures and provocations, which make people both jealous and fearful.

"What work you do doesn't matter. The key point is that there is a time when you do something with all your heart and consciousness, and everything is good."
