This was a good little introduction to the concept of shadow work, along with some exercises. I'm largely sceptical about it myself although some aspects (repressed characteristics based on childhood/earlier adult experience) do make sense.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for a free advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
I truly enjoyed this little book and the exercises with it as well - if you’re someone who’s looking to do the inner work or has already started to do it, this is a great tool to dig deep.

Disclaimer: From a scientific standpoint, I am highly critical of the shadow self, however I think it can be a useful tool and concept, given the right contexts.
This is a cute little book with great self-reflective questions and exercises and it is well-presented.
I was not expecting anything deeper than this; it is what it says in the blurb, a wee book on shadow work.

Really enjoyed this book on the shadow self. I think it’d be a good start for anyone who hasn’t heard of it before or has just started delving into exploring their shadow self. Lots of informative and interesting content. One that I’ll dip back into.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. The chapters are concise and the graphics and illustrations throughout the book are very aesthetically pleasing. There was a great collection of exercises to work with and try and the list of further reading and resources is also great. I think I’ll be looking at more of the little book series to come as they have some more on great topics.

Ich mag solche Bücher gerne. Es war an sich nicht schlecht. Die Kürze des Buches ist gut,
da man sich so einige Dinge einfacher merken kann, und ich konnte auch ein paar nützliche Erkenntnisse daraus ziehen.

Allerdings hatte ich meine Probleme mit der Struktur, was das Verständnis etwas erschwerte und manche Dinge waren etwas komisch erklärt. Obwohl ich gut
Ahnung vom Thema habe und daran interessiert bin, hat mich das Buch nicht ganz so begeistert, wie ich es erwartet hätte.

Es war okay, aber nicht wirklich überzeugend für mich.
