The Secret of the Shadow  by Debbie Ford   About the book: The Secret of the Shadow (January 2002, HarperSanFrancisco)   In her blockbuster #1 New York Times bestseller, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford introduced us to our “shadow.” Now she uncovers our “story,” the collection of beliefs and attitudes that prevent us from having all the love, happiness and success we desire. Ford’s most mainstream and important work yet, The Secret of the Shadow shows us how to break out of the confines of our personal dramas, which keep us repeating self-defeating, destructive patterns in our relationships, finances and careers. Debbie Ford shows us that all our pain, traumas, failures and perceived weaknesses have in fact been our greatest spiritual teachers, guiding us to discover our soul’s purpose and to live our ultimate dream.   More info: In The Secret of the Shadow, Ford provides the clear process by which the reader can find answers to these important questions: How can I make peace with my past and discover my essential self? If I’m not my story, then who am I? How are my most self-defeating behaviors guiding me toward a fulfilling and rewarding life? Why does guilt from the past continue to punish me today? What is the secret that is hidden in the shadow of my story? In this new work, The Secret of the Shadow, she uncovers our “story” which is the collection of beliefs and attitudes which prevents us from having all the love, happiness and success we desire. Our stories set our limitations and draw strong boundaries between us and the rest of the world. Our stories keep us small and separate even while we are begging to belong and fit in. When we are living in our stories, we engage in repetitive habits, abusive behaviors and abrasive internal dialogs. Like all good stories, our personal dramas have a theme and this theme repeats itself over and over again. This is the essence of our shadow beliefs which control our thoughts, words and behaviors. These shadow beliefs tell us how much love, money, and success we are worthy of. We play the game of  IF ONLY: if only I were rich, famous, healthy, smarter, faster, younger, etc. I would be able to find the happiness I deserve. In this process we unkowingly become victims of life.   The Secret of the Shadow will guide you to see that the story of you does not begin to define who you truly are. This book will show you how to use your story- to get value from all your traumas and shortcomings, to gain wisdom from your wounds. It will give you the process to unleash the secret that lies beneath your shadow.   About the author: Debbie Ford is the founder of The Institute for Integrative Coaching, the creator and leader of The Shadow Process, and faculty member of the Chopra Center for Well Being, where she works closely with Dr. Deepak Chopra and Dr. David Simon.
