The shadow effect : illuminating the hidden power of your true self

The shadow effect Illuminating the hidden power of your true self

Deepak Chopra

Book - 2010

The shadow is a part of the unconscious mind consisting of repressed weaknesses and base instincts. "Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." Now, three of today's most popular spiritual teachers join forces in this remarkable exploration of the dark side--the emotions and traits we are most afraid of and instinctively hide. When we reject or refuse to acknowledge this part of our nature, we become susceptible to those emotions and traits negatively impacting us. The shadow makes it presence known whether we want it to or not. The difference is that if uninvited, our dark side has the potential to hurt us and our love...d ones at any moment, but by embracing our shadow we embark on a rewarding journey to wholeness.--From publisher description.

Review by Library Journal Review

This coproduction of the star spiritual-writing team of Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and Debbie Ford is a component of a larger project, the documentary film of the same name, which features these authors plus several other famous faces, including Verdine White of the R&B group Earth, Wind, and Fire. The shadow is the name they give to the fears, inhibitions, and unspoken impulses that impede us and lead to self-destructive behaviors. Their essays here deal with the history of the shadow, methods for dealing with it, and the relations between the shadow and the soul. VERDICT By virtue of its authors alone, this title will command a wide readership among spiritual seekers; its concerns, too, are real and timely. (c) Copyright 2010.
