Publisher's summary

In The Secret of the Shadow best-selling author Debbie Ford shows us how to rediscover our true essence, which is hidden in the shadows of our own dramatic life stories. In her blockbuster The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Ford introduced us to our "shadow." Now she uncovers our "story", the collection of beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors that prevent us from having all the love, happiness, and success we desire.

Our personal dramas contain important information and wisdom that can help us discover our essential selves and true purpose in life. The process of making peace with our stories requires us to identify, understand, accept, and embrace everything in our past that has caused us pain. In order for us to heal, we must stop chasing what Ford calls "the feel-good moments" and embark on the extraordinary journey of loving and embracing all that we are.

The process outlined in this book offers us a way out of the never-ending cycle of pain and discontent. Whether we suffer from depression, ill health, a sense of unworthiness, arrogance, or low self-esteem, the road to healing is the same. This clear process (including action steps and contemplations in each chapter) will help you to discover your unique purpose and realize the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

The shadow knows

I am a fan of Debbie Ford's work after reading the dark side of the light chasers. this book gives a lot of examples of people she's worked with however her original Dark Side book is wonderful with very clear steps to take to do the work.

Not enough meat

I like her voice and some of the stories are entertaining but she says a lot of nothing. I found very little practical advice that I could put to use.

Hinges on the premise of the Devine plan

Examines the existential life issues through the premise of a devine plan. Most frustrating was the premise in chapter 2 of that “maybe you needed incredible suffering or severe disability to make you appreciate life”. No one needs it, it just is.
