The bestselling, beloved classic on how to go into the dark side of yourself to bring out the light -- now with new material. Debbie Ford believes that we each hold within us a trace of every human characteristic that exists, the capacity for every human emotion. We are born with the ability to express this entire spectrum of characteristics. But, Ford points out, our families and our society send us strong messages about which ones are good and bad. So when certain impulses arise, we deny them instead of confronting them, giving them a healthy voice, then letting them go. It is to these feelings that Ford turns our attention, these parts of our selves that don''t fit the personae we have created for the rest of the world. She shows us the effects of living in the dark, of keeping all our supposedly unsavory impulses under wraps. We find ourselves disproportionately frustrated and angry at the selfishness of friends, the laziness of colleagues, the arrogance of siblings. When we are unable to reconcile similar impulses in ourselves, Ford explains, we waste our own energy judging others instead of empathizing. But most important, we deny ourselves the power and freedom of living authentically. Through the stories and exercises in The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Debbie Ford shows us not only how to recognize our hidden emotions, but also how to find the gifts they offer us. This is for fans of Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch, and Deepak Chopra. The very impulses we most fear may be the key to what is lacking in our lives.

The #1 New York Times bestselling author shows how our most self-defeating thought can become blueprints for a fulfilling, rewarding life.

Why Good People Do Bad Things exposes the pervasive and often hidden impulses that influence our everyday decisions. The headlines are full of stories of good people gone astray. They show up on the evening news and are splashed across the weekly tabloids. In many ways, these sad stories have become a national obsession. Yet countless other acts of self-destruction and sabotage take place in our families, in our communities, in our circle of friends. Despite good intentions, “good people” do very bad things—often without understanding why. New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford guides us into the heart of the duality that unknowingly operates within each one of us: the force that compels us to live by our values, give and receive love, and be a contributing member of the community; and the force that holds us back, sabotages our efforts, and repeatedly steers us toward bad choices. Ford begins with an examination of what she calls the Beach-Ball Effect—the way in which suppressed emotions eventually rise to the surface—revealing the origins of self-destructive behavior. By describing the never-ending battle between our light and dark sides and then identifying the signposts for potential disaster, Ford helps us understand how we end up damaging the lives we''ve worked so hard to create. She then breaks new ground by helping us recognize the masks we wear to protect ourselves, including the People Pleaser, the Victim, the Bully, Mister Cool, and the Jokester. Understanding these masks and what they cover up allows us to go beneath the surface, wake up from denial, and become the person we always intended to be. With Why Good People Do Bad Things Ford has created her most enduring, expansive, and powerful work to date. Providing the tools to unlock the patterns of self-sabotage, Ford ultimately knocks down the façade of the false self and shows us how to heal the split between light and dark and live the authentic life within our reach.

On the fifth anniversary of her death and written during Debbie Ford''s long battle with cancer, Your Holiness is a thoughtful and poignant exploration of the godliness that resides in all of us. The extraordinary way in which the manuscript to this book was found sets the foundation for its incredible message: medium James Van Praagh received a message from Debbie Ford''s spirit telling him that she had an unpublished manuscript saved on her computer. James passed on the news to Debbie''s sister, Arielle Ford, who found the manuscript exactly where it was said to be. Infused with Debbie''s trademark frank honesty and keen insight, Your Holiness is a blueprint for recognizing and accepting our latent spirituality. Debbie combines motivational prayers with deeply personal stories about her own spiritual journey - how she struggled and eventually found her internal faith - and translates her experience into a practical path for transformation. Engaging and accessible, clear and unwavering, philosophical yet practical, Your Holiness is a gift to the soul that both guides and nourishes. At a time when so much in our world feels uncertain and suffering is widespread and persistent, Debbie''s voice is more essential than ever. Your Holiness grounds us in the here and now while delivering a timeless and empowering message of relentless love and strength.

From a New York Times–bestselling author, a proven process for overcoming insecurity and fear and unlocking the courage that resides within. Every day we are confronted with hundreds of choices that either makes us feel confident and strong or rob us of the things we desire the most. When we lack confidence, we feel unworthy of having what we want, of speaking the truth, of making decisions that improve our lives. When we feel weak, helpless, or powerless, we lack the strength to ward off the thoughts of defeat, negativity, and fear that fill our minds and prevent us from moving forward and living in harmony with our deepest desires. For decades, Debbie Ford has been helping people break free from the emotional baggage that has held them hostage. In Courage, she provides a life-altering path to discovering confidence and authentic self-expression. By learning to accept all of who we are, including our histories, our flaws, our misgivings, our weaknesses, and our fears, we discover that what keeps us stuck and feeling weak is nothing more than an illusion of the past. By showing us how to be confident, stand in our strength, and feel great about ourselves, a new self emerges with the power to accomplish anything. Introducing seven guiding principles, Ford expertly leads readers out of the common pitfalls of fear and insecurity and into the strength, power, and freedom of a courage that has been present all along.

And life as you know it will never be the same.” —Cheryl Richardson “I love this book. I love the way it was written. And most of all, I love you, Debbie Ford. You inspire me.” —Wayne Dyer

No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford''s The Best Year of Your Life is a call to action to stop pretending that the future will bring you the life of your dreams and to instead start living your dreams in this moment and for the rest of your life. Many of us spend our days thinking, talking and dreaming about what our lives could be like ''if only ...''. We make resolutions, we follow a new diet, we start exercise routines – we begin working on our lifelong goals and then we give up, get too busy and forget about what''s truly important to us. Another year passes by and our dreams remain out of reach. But what if today you discovered that the life you''ve always wanted is right in front of you, well within your grasp? Are you ready to live it? Debbie Ford not only answers these questions but offers a proven, practical blueprint for making today – this moment – the beginning of the best year of your life.

New York Times number–one bestselling author Debbie Ford presents revolutionary questions that, when answered with complete honesty, change the way we see ourselves and make decisions – ultimately moving us toward the life we desire. The realities of the life we live today are a result of the choices we made yesterday, three months ago and three years ago. But we don''t wind up $50,000 dollars in debt because of one extravagant purchase. Nor do we put on 30 unwanted pounds as a result of a couple of decadent meals. And our relationships certainly don''t fall apart overnight because of one decision. We are where we are because of repeated unconscious choices made day after day. If we want to understand why and how we created our present day reality, all we need to do is look at the choices we made in the past. Ford cuts right through our denial with the 10 questions that immediately reveal the true motivations behind our thoughts and actions.

Cuando te falta confianza, te sientes indigno de aquello que quieres, de hablar con la verdad, de tomar decisiones que mejoren tu vida.

Aunque en momentos de oscuridad lo dudes, hay dentro de ti suficiente coraje y valentía para transformar tu vida.

Debbie Ford decidió romper la oscuridad de su espíritu y descubrió siete principios que ahora brinda a sus lectores. Estos principios te mostrarán la luz que dibuja un camino que te aleja de tus inseguridades y miedos para guiarte hacia la fuerza, el poder y la libertad del coraje que vive en ti.

Hvad er det, der får ellers velfungerende mennesker til pludseligt at skeje ud og gøre et eller andet dumt, som ødelægger deres gode navn og rygte? Vi ser gang på gang mere eller mindre kendte personer blive kølhalet gennem medierne, fordi de er kommet galt af sted – og det er blevet en folkelig sport at følge de triste historier i mindste detalje. På trods af gode intentioner sker det igen og igen, at vi handler selvdestruktivt og gør os selv til vores egen værste fjende. Debbie Ford beskæftiger sig med vores skyggesider – de skjulte, mørke kræfter. Hun understreger vigtigheden af, at vi ikke forsøger at undertrykke eller gemme dem af vejen, da de derved kan komme ud af kontrol og pludselig overmande os med uoverskuelige konsekvenser til følge. I første del, Den endeløse kamp, beskriver Debbie Ford de forskellige måder, hvorpå de undertrykke følelser viser sig, under overskrifter som f.eks. Badeboldseffekten, Splittelsen, Skam dig og Frygtens nedfaldsprodukt. I anden del, Fredstraktaten, afdækker hun de mørke kræfters masker i forskellige psykologiske typer og følelsesmæssige tilstande og giver konstruktive værktøjer til at kunne acceptere og håndtere skyggesiderne, så vi kan blive vores egen bedste ven. Debbie Ford er kendt verden over for sit skyggearbejde, som hun formidler gennem workshops og for bestselleren Kast lys over skyggen samt Når kærligheden os skiller og Din historie – din styrke.
