shadow.self. by Joe Arden
5.0
𝙹𝚘𝚎 𝙰𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚗 is not just a talented narrator, he's a fantastic author, as well. I am usually not big on listening to/reading books of this nature, but when I learned it was both written by and narrated by 𝙹𝚘𝚎 𝙰𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚗, I knew I had to dive into it.
And, oh how 𝙥𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙜 this was. Filled with haikus & sonnets, 𝙹𝚘𝚎 𝙰𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚗'𝚜 creativity flowed. Each one different, each one the same. Each one powerful. Each one absolutely thought provoking. I loved every minute of it.
We all have a shadow within. We all have a choice: accept it & confront it, or turn around and run from it. 𝙹𝚘𝚎 masterfully voices the words he wrote to express this to us. He doesn't just put voice to the words, he 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 the words, filling them with tones & emotions that make the reader absolutely 𝓕𝓔𝓔𝓛 every word.
This is a short read/listen, but it will make you think, it will make you reach into the deepest parts of your soul, it will become something you will want to turn to, again and again, to find your creativity, your hope, your 𝑺𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘.𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇. Bravo, 𝙹𝚘𝚎 𝙰𝚛𝚍𝚎𝚗. Bravo! 👏🏼
