Learning How to Deal With our Shadow

I recommend this book - Romancing the Shadow, written by Connie Zweig and Steve Wolf.

According to Zweig and Wolf,  the shadow knows why good people sometimes do bad things. Learning to read the messages it encodes in daily life can deepen our consciousness, imagination, and soul.

 "Beneath the social mask we wear every day, we have a hidden shadow side: an impulsive, wounded, sad, or isolated part that we generally try to ignore, but which can erupt in hurtful ways. As therapists Connie Zweig and Steve Wolf show in this landmark book, the shadow can actually be a source of emotional richness and vitality, and acknowledging it can be a pathway to healing and an authentic life. "Romancing the shadow"--meeting your dark side, beginning to understand its unconscious messages, and learning to use its powerful energies in productive ways is the challenging and exciting soul work that Zweig and Wolf offer in this practical, rewarding guide."
