Resumen del Editor

Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson - New York Times best-selling authors and internationally acclaimed teachers - have joined together to share their knowledge on one of the most crucial obstacles to happiness we face: the shadow. These three luminaries, each with a signature approach, bring to light the parts of ourselves we deny but that still direct our life. 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 life running from it. But far from being scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Our shadow makes itself known every day. It is the reason we get furious over a friend showing up 10 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 embrace our dualistic nature, we will continue to hurt ourselves and those closest to us and fall short of our potential.

Combining the wisdom of three experts, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our shadow. These three authors powerfully pierce the veil of our unclaimed self, releasing us from the past and propelling us 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.

Personally Helpful

This book is full of helpful insights related to the "dark side" or "the shadow" we all have. In the first section of the book Deepok Chopra defines the shadow and places it in psychological/sociological context. In later sections Marianne Williamson and Debbie Ford contribute insights from their points of view. All of the sections have made me stop, think, and make application to my own daily life.

Specifically, Chopra includes a discussion of projection in the first section. He defines it clearly, gives specific examples, and details how one can avoid the pitfalls associated with projection. I found that portion of the book most practical and helpful.

I have not accepted Chopra's point of view, but find insights in each of his books which I can use in my own daily life. The inclusion of Williamson and Ford in this book works well.

Written and read by the authors, this volume is worth consideration.

Life Changing

This book changed the way I see the world. My feelings toward myself and others have shifted drastically. I have been able to move from a place of hurt to a place of acceptance and happiness. I would recommend this to everyone who is on a journey of self growth.

I worthy audio book with important concepts of sha

Would you listen to The Shadow Effect again? Why?

Loved the first two authors, cjoprabreording not very cle. Last section was interesting, but not quite my cup of tea. Would I recommend it Yes, Debby ford section also excellent or me.

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

A New Earrh, especially the chapters on the ego

Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes Chopra. The recording was better, that sad here s something special about listening to him.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

The two first sections yes

Deepak chopras voice = Nails on a chalkboard

I first read this book a few months back and was blown away. I got the most out of Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson. I purchased the book so I could re-read it while driving. Once again I found those two authors to be amazing. Just one of these authors is worth the price of the book. Debbie Ford not so much but has some great ideas. I find myself in the audiobook version skipping over Mr Chopra. The only voice I find more bothersome is Eckhart Tolle. I know that if I could quiet my mind to hear the message instead of the voice all would be well, but thats exactly why I picked up the audiobook in the first place, to hear a message, not trying to strain to hear the message.

Again, Marianne Williamson alone is worth the price of the audiobook.

great insight

very interesting and mind opening. The authors really outdone themselves with this book. A good insight on ones own inner darkness, not as an enemy but as dormant potential.

Life Changing

Thank you for being apart of my spiritual journey to being light and love. A must read for any truth seeker.

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.
