Bringing your shadow out of the dark
Breaking Free from the Hidden Forces That Drive You
(Available both as softcover and audiobook)
The degree to which we don’t know our shadow — meaning our internal storehouse for the parts of us we’ve disowned or are otherwise keeping in the dark — is the degree to which it runs us.
This book provides a deep-diving, very comprehensive exploration of shadow and how to optimally work with it.
This is a wise, brilliant, extremely clear and useful exploration of the shadow and will be invaluable for all seekers.

To Be a Man
A Guide to True Masculine Power
A groundbreaking, deeply practical guide to a genuinely healthy masculinity, at the heart of which is a potent pathway: facing our unresolved wounds and whatever else holds us back, bringing our head, heart, and guts into full-blooded alignment.
Any book that unveils the male mystique with empathy and compassion, helping men understand themselves and helping women understand men, and that helps the culture understand the masculine dilemma should be hailed as a miracle. Every man should read To Be a Man as autobiography, every woman should read it as revelation, and our culture should embrace it as a healing balm.

Robert Augustus Masters offers a thought provoking, clear, passionate and powerful roadmap straight to the nectar of intimate love.

Spiritual Bypassing
When Spirituality Disconnects Us From What Really Matters
(available both as softcover and audiobook)
Spiritual bypassing — the use of spiritual practices/beliefs to avoid dealing with painful feelings, unresolved wounds, and developmental needs — is so pervasive that it often goes largely unnoticed.
A must-read for those seeking increased self-awareness and a deeper, more spiritually sound life, a life of full-blooded integrity and compassion, a life in which the personal, interpersonal, and transpersonal are all honored and lived to the fullest, a life in which we cultivate intimacy with all that we are.
Robert has given us a great gift — a tremendously useful guide to examining our tendencies to spiritual bypassing, clearly the most comprehensive and accessible treatment available of this crucial topic. His work is a great contribution to the ongoing integration of psychotherapy and spiritual practice, and to our understanding of the meaning of spiritual maturity.

Darkness Shining Wild
An Odyssey to the Heart of Hell and Beyond:
Meditations on Sanity, Suffering, Spirituality & Liberation

An absolutely extraordinary book.... You’ve really underlined the necessity to know hell from the inside, in order to be able to sustain heaven. I absolutely recommend Darkness Shining Wild. It’s a remarkable book long waited for.

Freedom Doesn’t Mind Its Chains
Revisioning Sex, Body, Emotion, and Spirituality
Freedom Doesn’t Mind Its Chains has as its core theme the development of intimacy with all that we are. And its topics? Sex, body, emotion, spirituality, choice, freedom.
This book invites us to bring everything, including our suffering, onto the dancefloor. Though I wrote it back in the early 2000s — minus an editor! — I remain fond of it and its wild forays. It contains the basics of much of what I teach nowadays, including an extensive section on the body.
An extraordinarily poetic writer with great insights.
— Ram Dass, author of Be Here Now and Still Here
