Why Good People Do Bad Things exposes the pervasive and often hidden impulses that influence our everyday decisions. #1 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.
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.

“Debbie Ford very lucidly explains how our attempts to bottle up feelings of guilt, shame, and denial trigger destructive behavior both towards ourselves and others. She then goes on to prescribe the techniques that bring about the healing process and the discovery of our authentic higher self. Anyone who reads this book will find the means to become whole once again.”
— Deepak Chopra, author of Buddha: The Story of Enlightenment
“Debbie Ford brilliantly exposes the greatest human tragedy: the loss of the authentic self and the resulting split that ravages the life of the self and its consequences for others. I heartily recommend this book to everyone.”
— Harville Hendrix, PhD, author of Getting the Love You Want“This masterpiece of unflinching clarity is Debbie Ford’s most important and brilliant book. So much of our personal desolation and public destructiveness streams from our pathological inability to acknowledge and so begin to heal our shadow. Everyone, I believe, needs the fiercely compassionate and humble guidance of this stunningly naked book.”
— Andrew Harvey, author of Son of Man“Debbie Ford has an amazing way of casting light onto our personal darkness. She’s done it before, and now she’s done it again. She’s a great explorer of our depths.”
— Marianne Williamson, author of The Age of Miracles“Why Good People Do Bad Things is no fairyland fantasy. Ford speaks candidly about her own past bad choices and the hard road back.”
