Publisher's summary

Debbie Ford explains that the dark side of our personality should not be hidden. By denying our dark side, we reject these aspects of our true natures rather than giving ourselves the freedom to live authentically. Here she shows that it is possible to acknowledge and accept our so-called weaknesses, proving that these qualities may be important, hidden strengths. For example, perhaps some "selfishness" can save us from exhaustion and resentment.

Full of illuminating stories and practical exercises, Debbie Ford shows us how to reconcile our darker impulses and find the gifts they offer. Your life will be transformed when you unconceal, own, and embrace your shadow.

Important work in this book!

It takes courage to look into our shadows; there is great reward for those who do. Debbie's is thoughtful and gentle in guiding readers through the process. Thank you, Debbie, for this wonderful work!

Very helpful

I recommend reading/listening when you can sit down and work through the activities at the end of each chapter. Very helpful and enlightening if you’re looking to work through challenging beliefs about yourself and the world around you.

Really hard to listen to but a great book

It took me about six months to finish this book. Why? The author has vocal fry. It's like listening to a Kardashian show. Not every author can narrate their books and that is ok.

If that is an issue for you, read it instead. I switches to the book about halfway through it. Other than that, the content and exercises are excellent.

Shadow Work is Deep Work

This book transformed me! These ideas are not for the meek. If you have been on a healing journey for some time and recognize that this stuff can be hard, you might be ready for this. If you are just starting out, this might also be good for you. If you want transformation without hard work, this isn't the book for you. There probably isn't a book for you. This one doesn't let you skim through it without being affected. Enjoy!

Excellent for teaching, easy to understand

This is my first time opening up to an idea like this and I must say that I love that the author is the one reading. I also like the exercises at the end of the chapters. It is refreshing to have the music that feels relaxing as she reads along. I will be sharing this with all I encounter who are open to doing the work.
