The Shadow Effect: Illuminating the Hidden Power of Your True Self by Deepak Chopra
4.0
3.5 stars. Audiobook read by authors.
Chopra's section was by far the best, after an hour or so he gets into the nitty gritty of facing our demons. He goes into each step in depth - worth a listen:
1. stop projecting
2. detach and let go
3. give up self judgment
4. rebuild your emotional body
Ford's section also gets better after an hour or so of her personal story, but I found some helpful nuggets there as well. Especially the message of not trying to be a certain way to please others or gain their respect, admiration, love, and losing our authentic selves in the process. This resignated with me deeply.
Williamson talked a lot about God which was a turn off for me. She did talk about thinking we are separate from others and this being the root of conflict and ultimately separates us from love too, which shed some light for me.
Worth reading to get to the pieces that speak to you.
