I first heard of Debbie Ford, from Joe Vitale about a year and a half ago. Joe wrote highly of her on his blog. Soon after rushed to the library and picked up Debbie Ford’s best-selling book, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers: Reclaiming Your Power, Creativity, Brilliance, and Dreams. I picked up a handful of golden nuggets from that book which had a tremendous effect on me and changed me for the better. I have read many books in the past, and I continue to do so. Throughout my journey through life there have been certain books that I read that have changed my life for the better. Debbie Ford’s book was one of them.
So when I heard the she was releasing her new book called, Why Good People Do Bad Things: How to Stop Being Your Own Worst Enemy I wanted to get my hands on it. But for whatever reason, I forgot about the book until a few months later when I came to know that Ford was making a “movie” based on the book. The movie is called: The Shadow Effect.
Thanks to the generous offer of CK Reyes of www.divinepurposeunleashed.com I was sent a complimentary copy of The Shadow Effect DVD in exchange for my honest review of the movie. Not only did I watch the movie and think it was great, I also began reading the book and together they offered highly impactful nuggets of wisdom to apply to my life and change it for the better.
So what is the shadow effect really about? Here is a small portion of what I learned about the movie.
The Shadow Effect begins by pointing out that every human being has an internal shadow. Every time we act in a certain way on the outside, we cast a shadow which is its exact opposite. It’s the simple old concept of duality. Everything has an opposite. That includes us. Human beings too are full of opposites. We can be do good or cause harm. We can be happy or sad. We can show empathy or be uncaring. We can be generous or miserly. We can be brave or fearful. The term “shadow” in field of self-development was first used by psychologist Carl Jung. In fact one of Jung’s famous quotes best explains what the shadow really is.
