Bringing Your Shadow Out of the Dark: Breaking Free from the Hidden Forces That Drive You Paperback – October 1, 2018

I bought a copy for my fiancé who has been resistant to doing any type of inner work & emotionally shut down. He & I love the book so much that I bought a copy for myself (I've been doing inner work for almost 10 years now). My guy loves this book & finally had some major emotional breakthroughs & realizations around being adopted. WOW! Thank you for helping him to open up! I have hope for the relationship now & plan to buy the other available books by Robert Augustus Masters.

Totally uplifting a fresh perspective!

Great books not only steal your heart and mind, they take the words out of your mouth and leave you with nothing verbal to cobble together. You're left in peaceful silence and it's hard to write a book review with a quiet mind, yet here I am.Robert Augustus Masters has lived up to his name - and reputation - of knowing just what we need in his newest book. This book is for all the anxious, depressed, overthinking, performance anxiety-ridden, co-dependent, screen-obsessed, confused mess of a human beings out there. Your Shadow is the parts in all of us that we push away and try to squash with food, alcohol, phones, and every other tool of avoidance out there. His book is a guide on how to bring your mind out of the dark, make a cushion for it, and make friends with it.Highly recommended for everyone!

I found this book to be in essence deeply Spiritual, but in a way that I and so many people I know have come to appreciate. By dignifying the pain and suffering of our human condition, rather than pathologizing or transcending it. By understanding it clearly, and gathering the courage to move toward and through it. I have consistently found that True LIberation is a natural by-product of the author's approach, which includes all of who we are and leaves nothing behind. I highly recommend Bringing Your Shadow Out of the Dark. Even if you only take the title of the book to heart, you will be deeply benefitted!rather than applying every self-help technique we can in an attempt to eliminate or

Robert Masters has written about our shadow side, we all have one. To be able to identify this in ourselves is important to really have personal freedom. It will help in our being able to be in a more positive relation to ourselves and others. It helps to appreciate others as we learn about ourselves.

Honestly when I read the first couple chapters of this book I thought it was nothing but fluff. I wondered how it got so many great reviews. Everything seemed so trite and obvious and surface level. THEN - I kept reading and WOW!!! It is truly one of THE BEST BOOKS I've ever read. And not only for doing shadow work but also for just plain dealing with life and all it's ups and downs. This is one of those books I'll return to again and again and again! - Truly a guide for living.

Really opened my eyes to the deeper parts of myself. A great start for anyone wanting to do shadow work.

I finally understand what this whole business of “the shadow” really is all about, thanks to this book. I don’t think I ever really had it right until I read this. Maybe the best primer on the subject you can find.
