The Dark Side of the Light Chasers
Summary
Debbie Ford explains that the dark side of our personality should not be hidden. By denying our dark side, we reject these aspects of our true natures rather than giving ourselves the freedom to live authentically. Here she shows that it is possible to acknowledge and accept our so-called weaknesses, proving that these qualities may be important, hidden strengths. For example, perhaps some "selfishness" can save us from exhaustion and resentment. Full of illuminating stories and practical exercises, Debbie Ford shows us how to reconcile our darker impulses and find the gifts they offer. Your life will be transformed when you unconceal, own, and embrace your shadow.

The Shadow Effect
Summary
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. PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The Answers Are Within You
Summary
According to this New York Times best-selling author, each of us is born with a divine purpose and unique gifts, which we often lose sight of when we create our "story". This story, a collection of self-limiting beliefs, manufactures a false self and casts a shadow that prevents us from achieving success in many areas of our lives. As she explains, "the key is to stop chasing the feel-good moments and make peace with our stories so we can understand, accept, and embrace everything in the past that has caused us pain." When we find the courage to look into our painful stories, and embrace them for both the losses as well as the gains we have experienced, we can then open to the divine plan for our lives. In this one-of-a-kind program, Debbie shares her own story of addiction and how she learned to embrace it in order to gain greater wisdom and ultimate direction in her life. She also shares profound, life-transforming insights on: How and why your story gets created, how it becomes your identity, and how you can avoid the trap of constantly "trying to fix yourself". How to discern what your core shadow beliefs are, and how to deal with the incessant negative voices that keep you stuck in self-destructive life patterns. How to remove any resistance you have to embracing all aspects of yourself, so that you can make peace with your shadow, and in the end, experience how it actually serves you. How to forgive yourself and others and resolve any unfinished business from your past so that you can deeply and fully transform your life. How you can free yourself from your self-imposed limited thinking and open to your divine self. How to speak and live your truth and move forward in your life with greater ease and peace of mind.

Why Good People Do Bad Things
Summary
Why Good People Do Bad Things exposes the pervasive and often hidden impulses that influence our everyday decisions. The headlines are full of stories of good people gone astray. They show up on the evening news and are splashed across the weekly tabloids. In many ways, these sad stories have become a national obsession. Yet countless other acts of self-destruction and sabotage take place in our families, in our communities, in our circle of friends. Despite good intentions, "good people" do very bad things - often without understanding why. New York Times best-selling author Debbie Ford guides us into the heart of the duality that unknowingly operates within each one of us: the force that compels us to live by our values, give and receive love, and be a contributing member of the community; and the force that holds us back, sabotages our efforts, and repeatedly steers us toward bad choices. Ford begins with an examination of what she calls the Beach-Ball Effect - the way in which suppressed emotions eventually rise to the surface - revealing the origins of self-destructive behavior. By describing the never-ending battle between our light and dark sides and then identifying the signposts for potential disaster, Ford helps us understand how we end up damaging the lives we've worked so hard to create. She then breaks new ground by helping us recognize the masks we wear to protect ourselves, including the People Pleaser, the Victim, the Bully, Mister Cool, and the Jokester. Understanding these masks and what they cover up allows us to go beneath the surface, wake up from denial, and become the person we always intended to be. With Why Good People Do Bad Things Ford has created her most enduring, expansive, and powerful work to date. Providing the tools to unlock the patterns of self-sabotage, Ford ultimately knocks down the facade of the false self and shows us how to heal the split between light and dark and live the authentic life w...
