In his remarkable new book on personal work and well-being, Greg Loewen invites you to imagine a room in your basement full of experiences, desires, and dreams that you have walled off from your conscious self. With skillful mentorship and gentle humor, Loewen guides you to the very place that you have been avoiding. His personal stories are warm and riveting, and each one propels you forward towards the unknown. From David Bowie to Victor Frankl, he paints pictures of how we can release victimhood and create destiny.
In this new description of the Jungian shadow (minus the Greek mythology lesson), Loewen shows:
- How hidden wounds recycle pain, fuel addiction, and create burn out
- What makes love stay
- How to rewrite your story with generosity
- How to say hello to your emotions in the backseat, without letting them drive
- How coincidence can be your guide
- What your own mortality might have to teach you
It might sound a little scary at first, but what you find here is a first-hand account of how this work is done, where to find support, and how this work will expand your life. You aren't too busy to read this.
