The Shadow Effect

Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self

Talking Points

New York Times bestselling authors and internationally acclaimed leaders in the field of new thought, Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson have joined together to share their knowledge on one of the most crucial obstacles to happiness we face - the shadow. Each author uses their own signature approach to bring to light the part of ourselves we deny but that still directs our lives. For it is only when we embrace our shadow that we discover the gifts of our authentic nature.

The shadow exists within all of us. It is a part of us and yet we spend most of our lives running from it. But far from scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better more fulfilling life. The shadow is born when a painful experience in the past leads us to suppress an aspect of our personality in order to avoid feeling that pain and shame again. Once the shadow is formed, we remain stuck in damaging emotional patterns. Our shadow makes itself known every day of our lives. It is the reason why we get furious over a friend showing up ten minutes late, yell at our parents or kids when they have done nothing wrong, and sabotage our own success at the worst possible time. Until we are able to face our dark side, we will continue to hurt ourselves, those closest to us, and fall short of our potential.

Description

Combining the wisdom of three experts, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our dark side. By uncovering what we have been hiding from, we are freed from the binds of the past and propelled on a journey to wholeness. No longer living a half-life, we are capable of achieving our dreams and reclaiming the happiness that is our birthright.
