Editorial Reviews

When bestselling author Deepak Chopra (Reinventing the Body, Resurrecting the Soul), Debbie Ford (The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse), and Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles) join forces, readers—and booksellers take notice. This triple-strength offering spells out little-known formulas to self-empowerment and tranquility. A top-seller in hardcover; now in a paperback and NOOKbook.

"Beginning with the premise that people fear their shadow self, this stellar lineup sets out to bring the collective shadow into the light and teach readers how to manage it until it can be dissolved."

New Age Retailer

This coproduction of the star spiritual-writing team of Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and Debbie Ford is a component of a larger project, the documentary film of the same name, which features these authors plus several other famous faces, including Verdine White of the R&B group Earth, Wind, and Fire. The shadow is the name they give to the fears, inhibitions, and unspoken impulses that impede us and lead to self-destructive behaviors. Their essays here deal with the history of the shadow, methods for dealing with it, and the relations between the shadow and the soul. VERDICT By virtue of its authors alone, this title will command a wide readership among spiritual seekers; its concerns, too, are real and timely.
