Der er ingen diskussionstråde på Snak om denne bog. 4.25 ( ) This little book is packed through with life lessons, and self-discovery. Dr. Edith Eger is a clinical psychologistt who has devoted her life to counselling people on life lessons. All the good advice was gained by her own experiences in Auschwitz in WII. Her and her sister made it out. Their mother and father didn't. Edith emigrates to the US, and raises a family of 3 with a Czech national that she met in the US> Her personal story is heart wrenching enough, but her descriptions of some of her patients took the book to another level. As she states at the beginning of her book "Each moment in Auschwitz was hell on earth, it was also my best classroom"__I discovered the tools for survival and freedom that I use even day."This self-help book is one that I would recommend to anyone who is trying to figure out what's going on in their lives and why are the same mistakes being repeated. From one to twelve are all things thatt we should be aware of and use every day. Even though there's only 191 pages, it takes awhile to digest everything in this book. It's felt like it was a condensed visit to one of the best therapist in town reflecting on fear, change, transitions and forgiveness with relationships. The book takes you back to the days of Edith Eger's younger life in Auschwitz which she describes as "hell on earth." Like many other survivors, she moved to America after the war for a new beginning. She got married had children and in her 40s became a Doctor of Psychiatry. Her wisdom at 92 years old is shared throughout the book. Highly recommended for those that need hope and encouragement in a world that has many challenges. Edith and her coauthor do a wonderful job at creating accessible content. Even though she admits that PTSD never will fully leave someone that it has touched(or even their family/descendants) , her comments are incredibly empowering. A huge part of that is the friendly tone that somehow avoids being cloying. I also love that half of her bad examples are herself--- even including the trauma of a recent burglary in her home. I don't really remember how I found out about her, but I'm glad I did. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

Edith Eger's powerful first book The Choice told the story of her survival in the concentration camps, her escape, healing, and journey to freedom. Oprah Winfrey says, "I will be forever changed by Dr. Eger's story." Thousands of people around the world have written to Eger to tell her how The Choice moved them and inspired them to confront their own past and try to heal their pain; and to ask her to write another, more "how-to" book. Now, in The Gift, Eger expands on her message of healing and provides a hands-on guide that gently encourages us to change the thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping us imprisoned in the past.
