The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self

I bought this book with the book's condition as "Very Good." It was NOT. It was nowhere near "very good." I am displeased to say the least and consider the seller as having "false advertising."

I didn’t want it to end, and even when it did I found myself going back to the beginning and reading again. Very much awakened by what I read, and will end up reading again and again and again. It’s one of those books that gives such insight that you can’t read just once!

Deepak, Debbie, and Marianne create the ultimate power team of intellectual, emotional, and spiritual experts to help us discover the potential of ourselves when we embrace our shadow to become our truest self. We all deserve that! The DVD is a must see!!!

Wow. This book is really amazing. When I closed the book after reading its final pages, I could feel a complete shift in how I understand myself as a human being and how I can begin to understand those around me. It gave me such a profound compassion for myself and for the formation of my shadow. I thought, until I read this book, that this deep, dark place inside of me that I've tried to hide and overcompensate for was just my private shame. But Deepak, Debbie and Marianne explain that it's really the operating system that is running inside of every human being. It's universal. This book truly belongs in the annals of history alongside other works by great philosophers and thinkers. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

This book featuring Debbie Ford, Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson evolved out of the movie The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self that recently brought the three of them together. While the movie serves as an introduction to the concepts of the shadow and how it limits us as human beings, The Shadow Effect book is a deep exploration of that which most of us have hidden and tried to contain within ourselves. Of the three authors, Ford contributes the most clarity and definition to what the shadow is and how it shows up in our lives. But all share equally valuable information and insightes from their unique perspectives, offering a depth of experience and wisdom on this most vital of topics. Reading this book is both challenging and enlightening. It can be depressing as we learn the truth of who we are, yet hopeful as we discover the power that the comes from healing and integrating the Shadow. This is a must read for anyone committed to supporting a shift in consciousness on the planet.

Every time I think I am finally starting to understand myself and how my shadows effect me and my world, Debbie writes another book that opens whole new realities for me in my journey to wholeness and transformation. The Shadow Effect is that and more. Having both Deepak and Marianne speak about this critical topic for the world today about its affect on us individually and as a collective gives now meaning to Jung's concept of "whole". This is a must read and allows the reader to experience three of the worlds foremost transformational leaders speak about the most critical topic facing everyone in the world today. Make sure reading this book is at the top of your priority list of things to do. I am reading it again so I don't miss a thing and giving to everyone I love.
