Book Review:

According to author Debbie Ford, we’re continually telling ourselves “stories”—creating personal dramas based on our beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. “When we live in these stories”, Ford writes in her book The Secret of the Shadow, “we engage in noisy internal dialogues, self-defeating habits, and abusive behaviors.”

Book Review:

Why do we do what we do? More importantly, how can we move from a life of reaction to one of conscious, empowered choice?

In The Right Questions, The New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford offers ten profound questions that will help readers evaluate how they got where they are and how to make better choices for creating a fulfilling life. Do you find yourself giving more than receiving? Are you making career or lifestyle choices based on the values of someone else—such as parents, peers, or the media? Are you your own worst enemy—taking every opportunity to second-guess yourself or self-criticize mercilessly?

Book Review:

Have you ever heard the phrase “You spot it, you got it”? In the Self Help movement, this phrase describes the phenomenon of projection. That is, when we become angry at the shortcomings of others—their selfishness, laziness, arrogance, or rudeness—we are, in fact, projecting disowned “shadows.” In The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us how to reclaim our authentic self and confront the traits we most fear in ourselves—our shadows.
