Format:Paperback
The editors have collected diverse opinions that point to the power, value and wisdom alive within the parts of ourselves that we most often deny, detest and fear. Readers just entering into awareness of the shadow side of personality and the worth of honoring rather than repressing it will find many valuable ideas that challenge traditional notions of 'good' and 'evil'. More experienced seekers on the paths of Shadow wisdom may find thoughts that confirm or deepen insights to unlock even greater personal power and creativity. The book is arranged into short essays, some of which come from various journals or other books. This approach allows the reader to gain little tastes of various authors, which can lead to further exploration. I found this overview to be quite helpful. Sections introduce the concept of the Shadow; its developmental origins; somatic and sexual expressions; Shadow manifestations in relationships, work and society; deeply engrossing sections about Shadow energy in religion and psychology; techniques for coming to recognize and learn from the Shadow, etc. There is much wisdom in these pages, a wisdom which does not flinch from what betrays us, does not condemn what holds our secrets and shames, does not hold false promises or quick fixes for a topic that is central to personal and societal evolution. While most people will not show an interest or ability to recognize the Work that this topic points toward, those with the eyes, stomach and heart to accept a truly polished mirror will learn much about themselves.

Format:Paperback
"Meeting the Shadow" is a valuable anthology of insight into the aspect of "Shadow" in all of our lives. With contributions from authors as diverse as the eminent mythologist Joseph Campbell to screenwriter/author Michael Ventura, this collection of writings provides a wonderful introduction to the concept of the shadow, and how it works in our lives. I especially appreciated the diversity of the authors and their various backgrounds. Each writer has offered a view of the shadow from their own unique perspective, giving the reader a true overview of how Jung's concept of the shadow can be recognised and interpreted along the many different paths we walk. The bibliography and list of contributors' work in the back of the book is a wealth of resources for further exploration. I cannot recommend this book enough.

Format:Paperback
This is an anthology containing many well-written essays dealing with the Jungian concept of "Shadow", the unaccepted and buried side of our personalities. Anybody who is on the path of individuation, or just trying to understand the totality of his/her Self, will appreciate the different points of view shown in this collection.
