Following the philosophy of psychiatrist Carl Jung, this perceptive book teaches how to acquire a higher level of consciousness concerning daily decisions so that one can be more in tune with the complexity of both the world and other people. The typical question of why bad things happen to good people is also turned on its head in this study, which instead asks Why do good people do horrible things? Dissecting the answer, this complete analysis explains that accepting the "Shadow"--those unconscious parts of the self that one projects to the world--as a part of a person's identity is the first step towards complete personal understanding. This guide also cautions, however, that this dark side must be controlled, or it will ultimately cause good people to fall into bad behaviors.

Siguiendo la filosofía del psiquiatra Carl Jung, este libro perceptivo enseña a adquirir un mayor nivel de conciencia de las acciones y decisiones cotidianas al fin de estar en sintonía con la complejidad del mundo y de otras personas. Este estudio trata en una manera nueva la pregunta típica de por qué las buenas personas experimentan las cosas malas con la pregunta Por qué las buenas personas hacen malas cosas? Analizando esta respuesta, esta análisis completa explica que acceptando la Sombra--aquellas partes inconscientes del yo que contradicen la imagen que la persona muestra al mundo--como parte del ser es el primer paso hacia la totalidad completa. Esta guía también advierte, sin embargo, que este lado oscuro deba ser controlado, o últimamente causará que la buena gente actúe mal.
