Plot: Each of us has a dual nature: we are light (conscious) and dark (unconscious). The dark side of our personality (the other," the shadow side) is made up of what we think is our primitive, primal, negative impulses-our "existential kink." This book offers a truth-telling guide for bringing our shadow into the light. It invites us to make conscious the unconscious, own the subconscious pleasure we get from the stuck, painful patterns of our existence. It also provides practical advice and meditations so we truly see our shadow side's "guilty pleasures," love and accept them, and integrate them into our whole being"--
