Owning Your Own Shadow: Understanding the Dark Side of the Psyche by Robert A. Johnson

Owning Your Own Shadow by the Jungian analyst Robert A. Johnson is a short, direct book about the parts of ourselves we refuse to look at.

Johnson explains Jung's idea of the shadow — the qualities we push out of awareness because they do not fit the image we want to hold of ourselves — and shows what happens when that material stays buried: it returns as projection, as sudden anger, as the traits we cannot stand in other people. He argues that the shadow holds not only what is ugly in us but also gold: talent and vitality we disowned early on.

Slim enough to read in an afternoon and often reread for years afterwards, this is one of the most recommended entry points into Jungian psychology and shadow work.
