Why Good People Do Bad Things

In Why Good People Do Bad Things, James Hollis delves into the concept of the Shadow, drawing on Jungian psychology to explore the unconscious aspects of ourselves that clash with our self-image. He examines the reasons behind seemingly inexplicable behaviors, such as addictions and relationship strife, and how these manifestations can be understood as expressions of the Shadow. By accepting and investigating these darker facets, Hollis presents a pathway toward personal wholeness and encourages a more conscious approach to daily life and choices.
