Best books to learn Shadow work, in order

Shadow work draws on real Jungian ideas about the parts of ourselves we disown, but it's now surrounded by social-media versions that promise quick transformation. A grounded reading order starts with what Jung actually meant, then moves to structured self-inquiry, then to the reflective exercises that surface hidden patterns without spiraling. Approached as slow self-examination it's valuable; if it stirs up serious pain, a therapist is the right support.
