Just finished "Lessons for Living: What Only Adversity Can Teach You" by Phil Stutz, the therapist every Hollywood type goes to for their mental problems. Probably one of the best book I ever read, the concepts in the book are nothing new, but Phil puts his own explanations to it, and he doesn't hold back.

One of the biggest take away from this book is Phil's interoperation of the Jungian shadow. He said in the book that the part of ourselves that we tried to hide from other people, called the shadow, are actually our higher self in disguise. It is the part of ourselves that have to bare our original sin - humanity's fall from the Garden of Eden. Thus, this part is the only part within ourselves that is connected to heavenly power, in modern terms, our true potential. Over the years, many anime, movies and TV shows explore this concept in depth, but I really like Phil's way of explain it. What it really means is that we have to embrace our own weaknesses, because that's what makes us whole. By embracing it, our initial road to success seems to be harder, and longer. However, this by definition makes every small or big win a comeback victory, and it is a victory that actually lasts without depending on so many external factors.
