A Little Book on the Human Shadow by Robert Bly
Robert Bly, renowned poet and author of the ground-breaking bestseller Iron John, mingles essay and verse in this profound work of mythology and Jungian psychology to explore the Shadow--the dark side of the human personality--and the importance of this inner work in confronting it.
What happens when we ignore the parts of ourselves we've locked away?
- The Long Bag We Drag Behind Us: Discover Bly's famous metaphor for the repressed parts of our personality and why retrieving them is the key to a full life.
- Eating the Shadow: Learn the practical, transformative process of reclaiming lost energy by integrating the unconscious--what Bly calls 'eating the shadow.'
- Projection and Perception: Understand how we project our own darkness onto others, from personal relationships to national politics, and how to take that power back.
- Mythology as a Map: Explore timeless stories like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde to see how ancient myths provide a guide for modern inner work.
