Summary: "No one knows what the shadow knows."
Comment: This collection of 65 essays from a wide array of Jungian practioners is designed to give us a window into the mysterious world that lives within each of us; the shadow.

Each of these essays, in their own unique ways, throws the lid off of our own personal "Pandora's box" and brings us face to face with the disowned and despised parts of who we are: sexual urges, rage, resentment, arrogance, greed, envy; the list is endless.

Jung was once quoted as saying "I would rather be whole than to be good." I did not understand this statement until I read this book. Now that I have begun my own "shadow work," the picture is becoming clearer, and clearer.

Summary: Thorough and Western
Comment: This is a fairly thorough book explaining the shadow for people with some understanding of Western thinking. (Your Shadow is the bits of you that are fairly close to the surface but which you are not aware of, so they tend to amBush you 'from behind'). It's a bit thin on non western views, but approaches the matter of the shadow from enough angles to be easily translatable into other cultures, and to enable one to translate things from other cultures to be understandable from a western point of view. I found it very useful in a multitude of ways. Reading about my shadow helped me to see it and myself much more clearly and also to understand things about other people's behaviour that had been troubling me. The articles range from almost chewing gum to extremely profound, and all of them are useful or interesting.

Summary: Greatest Overview of the subjet in print
Comment: For many years, I have been teaching and presenting workshops on the "Shadow", and then along came this magnificent book, and I was able to revise and make more meaningful my presentations. It's the most thorough work on the subject I have ever come across.
