<p><strong>In this second book&nbsp; in the series, <em>Map of the Soul &ndash; Shadow: Our Hidden Self</em>, Dr. Murray Stein explores the dark recesses of our psyche, as well as the <em>shadow</em> images in BTS&rsquo; latest songs in their album <em>Map of the Soul: 7</em>. The Korean Pop band, <em>BTS</em>, has been taking the world by storm with a series of albums inspired from Dr. Stein&rsquo;s concepts titled <em>Map of the Soul</em>. Dr. Stein has joined them in expressing these same Jungian themes in a companion book series. </strong></p><p>The landscape of the soul has many contours and some hidden regions. This book speaks about obscure, typically unacknowledged aspects of the psyche. The <em>shadow </em>may appear initially like an unwanted intruder but those who become acquainted with thei<em>r shadow </em>discover it to be a vast storehouse of treasures and resources on the journey of self-discovery. Whereas the <em>persona</em> is the part of your personality that is revealed to others, the <em>shadow</em> is the part of your personality that is concealed from others and ourselves. The <em>shadow</em> often declares itself through sudden, often brutal reversals. At the collective level, the <em>shadow </em>proves capable of magnetizing people in the same direction, often with very destructive results. The person intent on living a more full, authentic life will be well served by becoming acquainted with the <em>shadow. </em></p><p>Dr. Stein and the collaborators, Sarah Stein, Steven Buser, and Leonard Cruz, are deeply indebted to <em>BTS, </em>whose<em> </em>world-wide popularity points to their remarkable ability to tap into universal themes that dwell in the collective domain. <em>BTS</em>&rsquo; music inspired this work and we hope this work will inspire others to explore the deep recesses of their inner life.</p><p><strong>Table of Contents:</strong></p><p>Introduction<br />
