The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self by Deepak Chopra
5.0
The Shadow Effect was one of the first books I’ve read that I felt I could relate to so much. It offers three different perspectives to what is the shadow and how we can deal/live with it. I had been interested in Deepak Chopra’s works in terms of the universe and consciousness. So I mainly got this book because of him, but I’m glad that I got to read two other perspectives from Debbie Ford and Marianne Williamson.
This book has a taught me that we live in a world made up of duality. Where there is good, there is also evil. We cannot get rid of nor escape the evil, we can only accept it and learn to control our emotions. The evil, in this case the shadow, comes in many forms relating to negativity including, but not limited to: anger, guilt, greed, and even the ego. It has taught me to be aware of my consciousness when the shadow is lurking. Rather than projecting hate where one would normally do, we can learn to project love and therefore creating the life we want to live. It all starts within.
This book has helped me transition into the spiritual path of life and I will always look back to it for guidance.
