--------------------
Each moment in Auschwitz was hell on earth. It was also my best classroom. Subjected to loss, torture, starvation and the constant threat of death, I discovered tools for survival and freedom that I continue to use every day.
In her darkest moments, celebrated therapist and Holocaust survivor Dr Edith Eger discovered that the most damaging prison was the one in her mind.
She realized that, in the end, it's not what happens to us that matters most - it's what we choose to do with it. We all face suffering - sadness, loss, despair, fear, anxiety, failure. But we also have a choice; to give in and give up in the face of trauma or difficulties, or to live every moment as a gift.
In this empowering book, Dr Edith Eger, provides a hands-on guide that gently encourages us to change the imprisoning thoughts and destructive behaviours that may be holding us back. Accompanied by stories from Eger's own life and the lives of her patients, this book will help you:
- Find courage when it feels like all hope is lost
- Release your self-limiting beliefs
- Deal with grief and shame
- Discover how anger traps us and how to release it
From a truly inspiring voice, these lessons will help you to see your darkest moments as your greatest teachers, and find freedom through the strength that lies within.
