"Your shadow is your strength" - Embracing Your Whole Self in Every Role in Life.
New revised edition with many examples and exercises.
This book explores the powerful and often overlooked concept of the shadow - the hidden sides of ourselves that hold both what we fear and what we can use as strengths. Through insights from Jungian psychology, it guides the reader in discovering, understanding and integrating these aspects of their inner life.
Rather than focusing on self-improvement in the traditional sense, the book provides tools for approaching and embracing the parts of ourselves that we often ignore or deny. It shows how the shadow, which holds our fears, shame and repressed sides, can also be a source of power, creativity and personal growth.
With a combination of theory and practical exercises, this is a book for those who want to start a deeper journey towards increased self-awareness and a more authentic self-image.

Take some time to get to know this delightful book. It is the fruit of years of experience and academic study, but it will not make you yawn and want to put it aside after a few minutes. Instead, it will draw you into a pleasant adventure where a treasure awaits at the end: your true self.
- Elizabeth Florent Treacy, Senior Lecturer at INSEAD Business School
We have to learn to live with the shadow, and hopefully find glimmers of light in its darkness, giving us new energy and new ideas. This is not an easy task, and for the journey to succeed we need a guide. Ann Askenberger offers just such a guide, making the shadow accessible through a modern fairy tale. If you are ready to come to terms with your shadow, this is a great place to start.
- Laurence Barrett, author of A Jungian Approach to Coaching
Words from the author:
Almost two decades ago, I first read Debbie Ford's book about hugging our shadow. It changed the way I looked at myself and others, at our merits and shortcomings. And it gradually influenced my approach to leadership development.
I've met many capable and ambitious managers who still find it difficult to ground their leadership. And I probably haven't met a leader who doesn't wrestle with the flip side of their winning face and appearance. What we don't want to be is also there - alongside all the good qualities we have and want to emphasize.
The shadow is both simple and difficult to understand. Simple, because it includes everything you don't want to be or think you have to be in order to be accepted. Difficult, because it describes something that most people are not even aware of, and instinctively avoid. Yes, imagine if more leaders could accept their shadow side!
Helping others to see their whole self has become my driving force, mission and passion. In recent years I have chosen to delve into the theories of how we humans are affected by the subconscious and unconscious. I have also had the opportunity to test my idea of how to connect the timeless psychological principles with modern leadership in a simple and playful way. In the last year alone, I have worked with over 200 leaders, of which 130 people have been coached individually by me.
Now my own book on the shadow is here. It is written to provide a language for all the different parts we humans contain. My hope is that leaders - and anyone who wants to take greater leadership over their life - will dare to use more sides to better contribute where they are. In doing so, they can have a slightly kinder approach to themselves.
It will be interesting to see how my unconventional interpretation of Jung's classic concept of shadow is received.
/Ann
