Publisher's summary

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.

What did you learn from The Shadow Effect that you would use in your daily life?

The Identity of the Whole Self/Higher Self is not the light and dark that it experiences every day. We can choose to accept and move beyond this and in doing this contribute to each other, the world and the universe in the greatest way possible

2 for 3 were very good

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

I loved it!

Any additional comments?

I really found Deepac Chopra fascinating and have since listened to more of his books. Debbie Ford offered some really valuable insights also. Although I know that Marianne Williamson is very popular - for me she was the least interesting but I am not a Christian so it doesn't resonate with me.

The Shadow Effect is a guide to embracing ourselves and others. It provides lessons on how to transform our relationships by looking at ourselves and as a result, inviting Love and Light into our lives. It is a "must read" for anyone who would like to realize their wholeness and invite emotional healing into their lives.
