| The shadow has reared its ugly head in US and world politics for years. In the book: "Beauty and Her Beast -- Introducing the Human Shadow," author Kay Newell Plumb pierces our placid blinders.
Jungian "Shadow" Affects 2008 Presidential Race
Dramatic exposure of the human shadow is terrifying -- or enlightening. In her new book: Beauty and Her Beast, Introducing the Human Shadow, first time author Kay Newell Plumb introduces us to the human shadow, the toll it takes on our daily existence, and opens our minds.
Plumb uses familiar characters -- Beauty and the Beast -- to turn the lights on where we try so hard to leave them off."We are creatures of comfort and blinders make us feel safe and secure, explains Scott Damschroder, the books publisher. "Kay rips them off and holds your eyes open. Beauty allows us to explore where we didn't know we wanted to go. That's startling revelation at its best."
Beauty and Her Beast is an introduction to the subject of the human shadow and its effect on our country, our leaders and our very lives. Written for understanding by the novice of this powerful force which works within the daily fabric of our mundane routines, Beauty is easy to love, with stark contrasts to the draw of the dark side.
With an expected final release date toward the end of October, 2007, Beauty and Her Beast will be on store shelves in time for the upcoming Presidential election. "We will finally be able to understand the underlying influences that force our politicians -- our line-up of Presidential candidates -- to make some of the outrageously insane decisions they make," said Damschroder. "As scary as it is, it's time we enter an election period with some open-minded understanding of the forces that shape our candidates."
Author Plumb knows the shadow well and takes us on a journey to discovery. "Your shadow holds the parts of your being that you don't want to think about or acknowledge," she explains. "It's the repressed, unlived side of your normal daytime personality -- the stuff you don't like about yourself -- the stuff you don't want anyone to know about you. It's what we each do with that part that gets interesting."
