Remembering the Luminary Works
Debbie’s first three books, The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Spiritual Divorce and The Secret of the Shadow, are still known as groundbreaking, pioneering work in emotional and spiritual education. They take the reader on amazing journeys into the internal world, laying out the blueprint of the human psyche. They are honest, straightforward and practical. Debbie’s books are used by universities, teachers, lawyers, mediators, and therapists around the world to support others in a true healing of the heart. Her next two books, The Right Questions and The Best Year Of Your Life, birthed out of her innovative and unique coaching training programs, guide people and give them an outer map to follow to reach their goals, to overcome their limitations, and to make choices that empower and lead them forward. In her sixth book Why Good People Do Bad Things, which her publisher called her tour-de-force, Debbie used her 15 years as a writer, teacher, coach and speaker to pull together and expose the greatest human tragedy, the internal split that happens for each and every human as they develop and get socialized into a world of conflicts and polarities. Her seventh book The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse provided a map for an incredible personal journey to transform consciousness and unlock purpose, meaning, and passion in our lives. Debbie’s eighth book which she co-wrote with Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson — The Shadow Effect offers us insights in how we can illuminate the hidden power of our true self. Her final book was Courage: Overcoming Fear and Igniting Self-Confidence.
