The Shadow Work Guide
See What You've Been Hiding From Yourself
by Nikolas Haag
About the Book
There's a version of you that you've spent your entire life trying not to be. You know it's there — in the jealousy you'd never admit to, the anger that comes out sideways, the patterns you keep repeating no matter how hard you try to stop. Carl Jung called it the shadow: every part of yourself you've rejected, repressed, or buried. It doesn't go away because you ignore it. It runs your life from behind the scenes.
The Shadow Work Guide is a practical, no-nonsense introduction to one of the most powerful tools in psychology. Based on the work of Carl Jung, Robert Bly, and decades of depth psychology research, this book gives you everything you need to understand your shadow and start working with it — without needing a therapist, a psychology degree, or years of study.
