Good as readers go

This is a reader; brief articles taken from other sources, on the subject of the shadow. It is a good place to start if you are new to this subject, but it is by no means comprehensive. It is quite repetitive; almost every article/essay begins with the definition of the shadow, and several themes are continually restated throughout. As another reviewer said, the book is dated, what with mentions of US-Russian relations, but don't let that stop you; you need not read every article in order to benefit from the messages within. Instead, read articles selectively, according to your own personal needs.

Enter the Shadow...

The 65-article anthology "Meeting the Shadow" is a mixed bag, with some articles the equivilent of fluffinutor, and others with rich and deep meaning for those searching for knowledge. This book did make me reconsider how I project onto others. This is a good psychological read, but some of the information is quite dated, as some articles are relevent mainly to the Cold War(It was written in 1990, but some articles are from the '70s.).

"No one knows what the shadow knows."

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.

Shadow workbook?

I did not realize that this was a shadow workbook until after I had read quite a few chapters. It is an entertaining book to read, reminding me of Vincent Prices Theatre. As great as one story is the next one tops it. Zweig and Abrams have gathered a great collection of stories that will get you to open up your mind to receive something that was there all the time. 5 STARS!

Amazing contributors, better editing, good concepts

If you are interested in the Jungian idea of The Shadow, this is a great read. Just look at the contributors- Robert Bly, Jung, Joseph Cambell, Ken Wilbur... these are big names by smart people.

We are using this book in a Shadow Work class, and everyone has truly enjoyed it. I think you would too.
