Looking for a Study List for OC People
I would like to read a book similar to "Jungian Psychology". Are there any OC references or books to study? I prefer Jungian psychology/personality typology. Others can also be recommended. Religion, writing skills, mysticism, psychology, and design can all be recommended.

It Looks Like I'm Reading a Novel, but I'm Actually Studying
I want to read a book similar to "It looks like reading a novel, but it's actually about learning theory". Is there anything less crazy about learning? Take advantage of every opportunity to learn!

Begging for Western Religions
It doesn't matter what gender or what the protagonist is, but he must be a fanatical believer who is willing to sacrifice everything, preferably a leader. There is a feeling of crazy beliefs and dark impulses hidden under the surface calmness.

It's beautiful, it really feels like a fairy tale, and the illustrations are exquisite and unique. But most of the stories are about men having adventures, and then the princess needs to be rescued. The only article I remember about a woman taking risks was to gain forgiveness from her husband. It may be a bit inappropriate for me now, but it may be okay as a bedtime reading for children. It can also be seen that this collection of stories also contains some hidden moral lessons.
Just based on the text of this book, we can feel that the plot is somewhat repetitive, and the characters' language is also somewhat repetitive. But this is a fairy tale, and when you think about it, how wonderful it is to tell these stories to children at bedtime. Especially the little goat's croaking is my favorite. The illustrations are also amazing, but maybe it's a problem when converting it into an e-book, and the text will be repeated after the pictures. "East of the Sun, West of the Moon" is short and concise, with only 70,000 words in total, and the stories in it are even smaller, so it is very suitable for reading during a busy day.
This book reminded me of my own experience. I once neglected my studies to go to work, and now I really regret it. These Nordic stories are like a light shining into my heart. Not only do they have beautiful pictures, but each story is so unique, which made me feel the charm of Nordic culture. This book is like a treasure trove waiting for me to discover more treasures. I will definitely cherish it and make it a part of my life.
It's a decent fairy tale, and you can see the basic formula: repetition and emphasis, justice versus evil, and a happy ending, but the description of the Nordic style is still very interesting. The story is basically very light and can be read quickly. There is no need to have any impressions after reading it. As long as the fairy tale is read in a relaxed way and has a smile, it will be fine.
It's quite interesting... I can see many basic routines of today's fairy tales. The language is beautiful and I really like some of the metaphors in it.
Not bad. I learned about foreign cultures and the illustrations are really beautiful.
A very classic collection of folk tales.
Some of the story templates are very similar, but I love this fairy tale. It tells the truth that even if you do something wrong, as long as you are willing to work hard to make up for it, you will get a good ending.
Not particularly educational, but interesting
It's okay, but I feel like many stories have the same outline.
Fairy tale book, I feel like I am back when I was a kid.
I found that only the prince smelled of human blood, but not the princess [thinking]
