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.

Skip part 3

Beautifull book, sadly part 3 was added. 1 & 2 are very educational, inspiring and contemplative. Part 3 hit me as pedantic, fanatically religious and unpleasant to listen to.

a beautiful and inspiring book

What happens when 3 giants meet and discuss shadows? Light comes pouring in.
You might have to adjust the speed sometimes, and relisten to some chapters many times. However, engaging in the shadow work, as daunting and hard it may be, will result in blissful empowering light.

A bit old school, moralising and poetic

It's interesting, that the same book is written by three completely different authors and read by them. But I must say the style for me for this type of book was just way way too poetic, unnecessarily worded and too sentimental. I personally prefer when spirituality is explained in terms of physics, like energy, waves, quantum physics and similar. I like when it's all clearly defined and easy to understand. We know we are expression of Source, we understand duality. So I wanted this book to clearly explain how to find the shaddow, how to integrate it, what are pros and cons of Shaddow, how to accept it, what happens if you do, what happens if you don't and similar. Instead it was a lot of talking about nice stuff. But I only got 2 clear thoughts from this book.
1st. You find your shaddow by noticing negative things in others.
2nd. You find you light shaddow by noticing positive things in others.
That's basically it. The whole book can be summarised by these 2 statements for me.

A very helpful book

I really enjoyed this book, I found it thought inspiring and broadened my perceptions on the subject matter. I've read a number of chopra's books and he has maintained his usual good standard, I am new to the other two authors but found their work to be moving and helpful also. I will be keeping a look out for further works by both of them from now on!

A great book

This book gave me a deeper insight into the shadow and how it presents in us. The three authors compliment each other explaining it different ways.
I will listen to it again as their is a lot to take in .

Enjoyed the diversity of the information

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

If you are looking for views that are synergistic without feeling like you are being fed from a spoon, this is an excellent choice. All three are powerhouse teachers and while they have very individual styles and messages, they did a great job of delivering content that enhanced each others teachings.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Shadow Effect?

Deepak's description of projection is very clear, easy to follow and feels accurate as I apply it in my daily life.

A Must for shadow work

This took me on a journey that helped me find the right path in life for me. It asks you to honestly look at self and encourages us to not give power to others or our shadow..... Breathtaking!
