5 out of 5 stars valuable insights   November 7, 2008
Great book,everybody should read it!br /br /It provides insights into the human shadow,you know,all your charactre traits you don't like and buried somewhere in your psyche.br /As I was reading the book I decided to be ruthlessly honest with myself and confront my shadow.br /I would have liked to hold on to my self-image of perfection,but, in the name of progress I wrote down all my annoying traits (I was shocked) and realized I had projected them on my best friend!Every one of them,poor guy!br /I own my shadow now,thanks to this book and feel stronger for it.br /


3 out of 5 stars Good as readers go   March 13, 2007

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.


5 out of 5 stars Amazing contributors, better editing, good concepts   October 8, 2006

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


5 out of 5 stars Shadow workbook?   August 19, 2006
 4 out of 4 found this review helpful

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!


3 out of 5 stars Enter the Shadow...   September 2, 2004
 9 out of 16 found this review helpful

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.).
