In this groundbreaking exploration, three New York Times bestselling authors—Debbie Ford (The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Why Good People Do Bad Things), Marianne Williamson (The Age of Miracles, A Return to Love), and Deepak Chopra (Jesus: A Story of Enlightenment)—deliver a comprehensive and practical guide to harnessing the power of our dark side.


Three legendary teachers offer a multi-lens path to personal transformation:


  • The Shadow Self Explained: Deepak Chopra provides a comprehensive overview of our dualistic nature and offers a prescription to return us to wholeness.
  • Reclaim Your Power: Drawing on fifteen years of teaching, Debbie Ford offers an accessible, in-depth examination of how to reclaim the power and brilliance of our authentic nature.
  • A Spiritual Journey: Marianne Williamson touches our hearts and minds with a provocative exploration of the connection between the shadow, the soul, and the battle between love and fear.
  • Integrate Your Light and Dark: Discover why the parts of yourself you try to hide—both the dark and the light—hold the key to your strength, happiness, and ability to live out your dreams.
  • Break Destructive Patterns: Understand the ’Shadow Effect’ and why we unconsciously act in ways that go against our own best interests, and learn how to finally stop.
