“In their courageous book, Romancing the Shadow, Zweig and Wolf
have offered a significant contribution to the understanding of the
process of true healing.”—Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of
Kitchen Table Wisdom
“A compelling, evocative book that brilliantly elucidates the
shadow in straightforward language. Shadow-work is our greatest
challenge to becoming a global village.”—Marion Woodman, author of
Dancing in the Flames: The Dark Goddess in the Transformation of
Consciousness
“Romancing the Shadow has changed the way I perceive myself and the
people I love. It’s brilliant, compassionate, and
challenging—providing readers with a structure through which they
can reconnect with their spirit. I use it now to examine every
character I am and every character I write about.”—Sheri Reynolds,
author of The Rapture of Canaan
“The secret is out: all of us, no exceptions, have qualities we
won’t let anyone see, including ourselves—our shadow. If we face up
to our dark side, our life can be energized. If not, there is the
devil to pay. This is one of life’s most urgent projects.”—Larry
Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words
“Throughout this book we are invited to undertake the ordeal and
passion of discovering the richness in our individual darkness,
thereby creating soulful and expressive lives. The authors restore
us to ourselves.”—Deena Metzger, author of Writing for Your Life: A
Guide and Companion to the Inner Worlds
“This book is a great help to anyone trying to tune in and listen
to the voice of the soul. At last, a practical mysticism!”—Coleman
Barks, poet-translator of The Essential Rumi
