Quite a difficult book to get through as some of it's material was confronting and opened cans of worms. Some essays were very jargony which may be difficult for some to decipher. Some awesome material, really plunges you into the depths of the shadow self which is uncomfortable but ultimately very healing.

I really enjoyed this collection of essays and found it enlightening. I was specifically interested in the shadow within the self and less in groups or in greater society so I found those sections most helpful, but all of the topics covered were interesting and insightful.

I think I have burned out of reading and this had too much information, I did not just want to get through it and remember nothing. Did not have the energy to do it justice by making notes etc.

"Uno no se ilumina imaginando figuras de luz sino haciendo consciente la oscuridad" (Carl G. Jung)
AMÉ este libro. Lo ví citado por varios autores y decidí buscarlo en versión física. Tiene numerosos ensayos relacionados con el concepto de sombra que se deriva de los hallazgos de Freud y Jung. La sombra es, en pocas palabras, lo que una persona no desea ser.
Está dividido en distintas secciones que abarcan una gran cantidad de temas. Arranca desde qué es la sombra y cómo se origina, sigue con la sombra en aspectos como la espiritualidad, el cuerpo, la política y el trabajo y las últimas secciones se relacionan con cómo trabajar con la sombra. Lo recomiendo ampliamente si alguien tiene interés en el tema, me voló la cabeza en muchas cosas y sé que voy a volver a él.

Although I personally do not see this as a book for those who are still actively dealing with panic traumas (particularly related to childhood abuses), this book is extremely useful, in many chapters, for working through the details of getting to the bottom of the traumas and less severe but nonetheless hurtful events of earlier life. I found in particular those excercises for finding and dealing with Shadow projections to be potentially helpful, if rather difficult, and useful. This is a book that bears re-reading with pen in hand, and going back through one's journals while working on the excercises.
(I found this book on my landlady's book shelf just after my therapist mentioned that being emotionally exhausted and wanting to give up was a by-product of running, with the Shadow ever on my heels, from those very parts of me that need to be acknowledged and integrated/accepted).
Comme dit-on en français, bon courage ! (The phrase that comes strongly to mind here is what the French say: courage, which means both courage or bravery, but also in this case, may the work go well, as it will clearly not be easy...)
