About this item
An expert on the "dark side", Debbie Ford sheds light on the aspects of our selves that we unconsciously (or consciously) hide or deny -- those dark qualities that we've buried along our way to becoming "good people" -- which can be sources of strength and joy when recognized and reconciled.Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion.We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics. But, Ford points out, our families and our society, send us strong messages about which ones are "good" and "bad". So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go.It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don't fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world.
