“The Dark Side of the Light Chasers” by Debbie Ford

Synopsis

In this enlightening guide, Debbie Ford explains that the dark side of our personality should not be hidden. By denying our dark side, we reject these aspects of our true natures rather than giving ourselves the freedom to live authentically. Here she shows that it is possible to acknowledge and accept our so-called weaknesses, proving that these qualities may be important, hidden strengths. For example, perhaps some ‘selfishness’ can save us from exhaustion and resentment.

Full of illuminating stories and practical exercises, Debbie Ford shows us how to reconcile our darker impulses and find the gifts they offer. Your life will be transformed when you unconceal, own, and embrace your shadow.

Favourite Quote

Do what you say. If you’re not going to do it, don’t say you are. Have your WORD be the most important asset you have. Treat it like gold. If you treat it like gold, it will bring you gold, you will be able to create what you want in the world.
