Shadow Dance by David Richo

Shadow Dance by David Richo

Discover how to embrace the dark side of your personality--or the shadow self, as introduced by Carl Jung--to live a fuller, more authentic life

Our shadow is the collection of negative or undesirable traits we keep hidden--the things we don't like about ourselves or are afraid to admit: egotist, non-PC proclivities, forbidden sexual desires. But it also includes our positive, untapped potential--qualities we may admire in others but disavow in ourselves. Befriending the shadow makes fear an ally and enables us to live more authentically. It also automatically improves our interpersonal relationships, because we are freed from the need to project our own negativity onto others, and we become more acutely aware when theirs is projected onto us.

David Richo looks for where the shadow manifests in personal life, family interaction, religion, relationship, and the world around is. He shows how to use the gentle practice of mindfulness to work with our shadow side, and he provides numerous exercises for going deeper. He is remarkably skillful at making the shadow concept not only easy to understand, but supremely practical for enhancing the quality of our lives.
