The Shadow Effect

Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self

By: Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, Debbie Ford

Narrated by: Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson

In this groundbreaking exploration, three New York Times bestselling authors—Debbie Ford (The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Why Good People Do Bad Things), Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles, A Return to Love), and Deepak Chopra (Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment)—deliver a comprehensive and practical guide to harnessing the power of our dark side.

Insightful but Conflicting

I love all three of these authors, and I enjoyed all three parts of the book. But at times, the authors conflict each other and it makes it hard to take what they're saying really on board. It's still definitely worth listening too. Each of the authors have valid and important points. I got something from every single section. I just wish that the messages of the meaning and purpose of the darker sides of ourselves, our so called "shadows", weren't so conflicting.

Bring the darkness to the light

Loved the Narration!
I will be looking further into the Shadow to see how it's ruling my life and in balance

Really, thought provoking.

Great for someone who is open to changing. I personally have begun to process life differently and I am better for it.

Fabulous book.

there's a great deal of theory here that supports the shadow process. all three authors are spectacular in their presentation. I highly recommend this book.

Enlightening content - difficult narration

What did you like best about The Shadow Effect? What did you like least?

I found the book to enlightening but also somewhat conflicting between what they said and what they suggested you do.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

Honestly just about anyone! While I am sure Deepak Chopra's message is deep and important. As an audio book you want to be able to understand what he is saying clearly. I found that even though I listed to his portion twice I floated away and picked up little since it was so hard to focus enough while driving to decipher what he was saying.

Debbie Ford was sappy and again, great message, but unengaging narration.

Marianne Williamson was excellent.

Was The Shadow Effect worth the listening time?

It was the first book I wanted to return. I did get through it but it was a hard book to listen to and even harder to get meaning from when you're frustrated that you do not know what is being said or can't really make out the words to listen.

All Connected is the key...

I enjoyed this book and find I am listening to it again. There is a lot of good information as a fan and believer in Debbie Ford, Deepak Chopra's work and much of Marianne Williamson's inspiration (though I do not share her belief in The Course In Miracles but much of the content extracted). I thought that it was
"abridged" because it did become redundant in sections; so could have been a bit shorter in Debbie and Marianne's portions for my taste. The information was solid and all reiterating what they had written about before; the reference to Jame's Fowler's "Connected" caught me by surprise because I ran across this book and purchased it here earlier this year by what I thought was "accident" at the time.....hmmm...

Shadow Effect.

If you could sum up The Shadow Effect in three words, what would they be?

enjoyable and exciting.

What other book might you compare The Shadow Effect to and why?

i have not heard a book quite like this one before.

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

that we all have a dark side in hiding.

Any additional comments?

i really enjoyed this book very much. it opened my eyes to things that i would have not noticed before this book.

Good lord! Narrator talent + content?!

Two thirds was ok ...but just ok. One third (sorry Debbie Ford) was lacking in terms of content (what content?! Repeating the same things doesn't count...) ABC unpalatable in terms of narration. In fact repeating the same things in THAT tone of voice was a draining shadow effect indeed.

Great!

A deep analysis into the Metaphysics of our shadow-selves, and the arguments supporting why it is essential to understand this aspect of our human psyche.

Very good book but...

Loved the content, Debbie and Marriane performance were great however it would have been better if Deepak had given the reading part to someone else.
