Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I grew up in a castle. It was a six-bedroom house with gables, turrets, and lead-paned glass windows. It was built in the early twentieth century by a wealthy industrial baron. My father was a well-respected neurosurgeon in Boston, and my uncle was a combat veteran and adjutant general of Connecticut. #2 I had always had an itch for adventure and independence, despite the careful sculpting of my erstwhile elders. I was a avid marksman and had purchased my own Colt. 45-caliber pistol. I was parachuting out of airplanes and dragging my groaning buddies off to three-day treks in the Vermont mountains. #3 I was bored at college, so I started a movie rental business with my roommate, Beeker. We bought four VCRs, thirty movie tapes, six movie posters, and a color TV. We then measured our sitting room, went into Northfield, and bought wood paneling, hardware, wall-to-wall carpet, and three plush lounge chairs. #4 I was a senior cadet and upperclassman, and I was strong as a bull. I was never going to be a fighter pilot, and I knew it. I had to find something else I would be happy with.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The shadow is the dark side of human nature, and it exists for everyone. It is a human creation, not a cosmic force or a universal curse. It can't be cured, but it can be diminished. #2 The shadow is not a result of demonic possession. It is a result of failed ideals that once seemed like perfect solutions. Each solution matches a picture of what the dark side is all about. #3 The first step toward dealing with the shadow is to acknowledge its power. We have a self-destructive side, and when we don't see it, we give the shadow more and more power over us. #4 The dark side of human nature is a result of the application of higher consciousness. It's not the answer that's at fault here, but rather the superficial understanding of it.
