About this listen

Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford, and Marianne Williamson - New York Times best-selling authors and internationally acclaimed teachers - have joined together to share their knowledge on one of the most crucial obstacles to happiness we face: the shadow. These three luminaries, each with a signature approach, bring to light the parts of ourselves we deny but that still direct our life. For it is only when we embrace our shadow that we discover the gifts of our authentic nature.

The shadow exists within all of us. It is a part of us and yet we spend most of our life running from it. But far from being scary, our dark side holds the promise of a better, more fulfilling life. Our shadow makes itself known every day. It is the reason we get furious over a friend showing up 10 minutes late, yell at our parents or kids when they have done nothing wrong, and sabotage our own success at the worst possible time. Until we are able to embrace our dualistic nature, we will continue to hurt ourselves and those closest to us and fall short of our potential.

Combining the wisdom of three experts, The Shadow Effect is a practical and profound guide to discovering the gifts of our shadow. These three authors powerfully pierce the veil of our unclaimed self, releasing us from the past and propelling us on a journey to wholeness. No longer living a half life, we are capable of achieving our dreams and reclaiming the happiness that is our birthright.

Insightful but Conflicting

I love all three of these authors, and I enjoyed all three parts of the book. But at times, the authors conflict each other and it makes it hard to take what they're saying really on board. It's still definitely worth listening too. Each of the authors have valid and important points. I got something from every single section. I just wish that the messages of the meaning and purpose of the darker sides of ourselves, our so called "shadows", weren't so conflicting.

Really, thought provoking.

Great for someone who is open to changing. I personally have begun to process life differently and I am better for it.

Enlightening content - difficult narration

What did you like best about The Shadow Effect? What did you like least?

I found the book to enlightening but also somewhat conflicting between what they said and what they suggested you do.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of the narrators?

Honestly just about anyone! While I am sure Deepak Chopra's message is deep and important. As an audio book you want to be able to understand what he is saying clearly. I found that even though I listed to his portion twice I floated away and picked up little since it was so hard to focus enough while driving to decipher what he was saying.

Debbie Ford was sappy and again, great message, but unengaging narration.

Marianne Williamson was excellent.

Was The Shadow Effect worth the listening time?

It was the first book I wanted to return. I did get through it but it was a hard book to listen to and even harder to get meaning from when you're frustrated that you do not know what is being said or can't really make out the words to listen.

This Book Changed My Life!

If you follow the guidance in this book, it will, absolutely, change your life. The power, compassion, and insight that I am able to tap into more and more each day, after applying the book moment by moment, has been invaluable to me.

Marianne Williamson is a queen

I learned so much about myself and humanity form this book. We all have a shadow. I’m grateful for Marianne’s insight into how to invite the light into our worlds to integrate the shadow.

Only two thirds good

I find that the information given by Ms. Williamson greatly contradicts the information given by Chopra and Ford. Integrate the Shadow or Eliminate it?
