Oprah had a lightbulb moment when she connected with Debbie Ford′s shadow work. Now, Debbie deepens our shadow work and shows how our shadow side holds the key to our happiness. Each of us has a shadow that whispers stories of our own self-defeating fears to us-for example: that we aren′t enough, that we are unworthy of being loved, that we will be deserted by those whom we care about. Debbie guides us to hear those stories and find the positive message within each of them. She shows how understanding our own shadow side can lead us to lives of tremendous fulfillment and peace. Full of case studies and exercises, this book complements her first book on shadow work, which has sold almost half a million copies.

    Debbie Ford is one of the best writers in her field. She will be missed but fortunately, her writings are here to stay. Her honestly and courage are inspiring to me. I read The Dark Side of Light Chasers back in 1999 or 2000 and loved it. I loaned it to a friend who never returned it. I think she passed it on to someone special as well. I got sidetracked with career,etc and never got back to her books but never forgot how much it meant to me. Now that I hear she has passed away, I am newly inspired to read all her books. I have not read this book yet, nor the other four of her books that I ordered; but, I can't wait to jump into them. Debbie's books opened up a whole new way of looking at life, at myself and my relationships. All have been truly enhanced and I have grown so much as a result. I am also a follower and admirer of Deepak Chopra and Neale Donald Walsch, both of which Debbie had very meaningful associations with. I will write another review when I've completed the books and I know my review will be highly positive. Thank you Debbie for sharing your rich life with us in your books.

    An easy read with personal stories of herself and others as well as a good chronological flow of information, this book was exactly what I needed that I didn’t realize was missing in my process, integration. I did discover the secret of my shadow. Thank you!

    Also for this book to be effective, don’t just read through it but do the short exercises at the end of each chapter before you read on as it builds off your work.

    Book contains a lot of info about where and how to look for the beliefs you need to change in your life. Prefer not to go through her action steps in forgiveness and just pull my beliefs via theta healing for instant change.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2010

    She talks about the stories we create about ourselves when we are children and how they cause us to not be who we really are and so we then do things that we wouldn't otherwise do. She helps you to figure out the stories that you have come to believe are true. I love this book, I think that everyone can benefit from this book, because I think that we all create stories about who we are and come to believe them when we are children and then we carry those stories out throughout the rest of our lives and this is what causes us unhappiness, they also cause us to do things that we don't want to do and if we change the stories then we can change the parts of us that we don't like. I think that this book is for everyone. Very interesting read.

    This book spoke to me on so many different levels. I found answers I didn't even know I was looking for. I read the book all the way through first then went back and did the end of the chapter work. I was reading the last chapter of the book, sitting on a cold, cloudy beach just feeling so inspired and enlightened about myself. The very last section of the last chapter I felt a weight being lifted, I read it through my tears and just knew I was on the right path. The sun came out from behind the clouds and was radiating on me as proof. That last section changed me. Truly a book every single person on the planet should read.

    This book will change your life. Guaranteed. If you have any kind of sadness, shame, fear, regret, etc... in your life, this book will help you get to the root of the cause, shine a light on it and help you to accept it and finally have peace in your life and so much more!!! I gave a copy to my Sister. She was in such emotional distress, and had been for years, that it began to have phsyical consequences on her health. She told me yesterday that this book has transformed her life. She said it's like her distress was as big as the Grand Canyon and it has been filled completely with dirt and there's not even a crack left. Amazing!!!

    Well written, insightful and thought provoking. If you journal and answer the questions/ exercises at the end of each chapter, this book can be very enlightening and helpful in learning what makes you react. Debbie Ford offers easy yet mind blowing suggestions to change our patterns of behaving unconsciously and instead switching to a conscious peaceful and compassionate way of being who we truly are. I really enjoyed the book and downloaded a second one written by her. My next adventure in self growth
