Editorial Review:

Product Description:
An exploration of the dark or hidden aspect of the persona--what it is, how it originates, how it is formed, and how it can be used to bring wholeness to the personality. Now in trade paperback.




Rating: - awesomely insightful good read
I just finished this book and recommend it to everyone. I love Robert Johnson's work, I've read several and want more! This one in particular really dives deep into the human psyche that we don't want to reveal, and brings us to the balance point.

Rating: - A little book with a big message
Most reference books are large. This one, even with all of the information packed inside, is instead, rather small. In doing the work of owning your own shadow, "what is the purpose of my life?" is a question that can be discovered. Paired with Johnson's "Innerwork," readers can learn to be in touch with and find meaning in the deeper regions of the psyche.
