Inspiring and beautiful book by Edith Eger - she has such an incredible story and it’s an honor to learn from her。 I think I should have read her other book， The Choice， first - but it’s high up on my list now！

Easy to read， full of wisdom， useful tips and beautiful quotes。 I felt the client stories were a bit long but maybe that's just me。 Easy to read， full of wisdom， useful tips and beautiful quotes。 I felt the client stories were a bit long but maybe that's just me。 。。。more

Listened to this on audible。 Good read。

Boek met lessen oa uit de donkerste periode van haar leven en dat van haar cliënten。 Het voelt wat als los zand bij het lezen， pakt minder als haar eerste boek ‘de Keuze’ dat meer een geheel is。 Spiegelt het soms wel heel simpel voor dat door 1 advies of uitspraak iemand zijn hele leven kan veranderen en zijn mentale geschiedenis kan afbreken。

This book was a birthday gift from a dear friend。 To say “The Gift” is a gift is an understatement。 This book is life changing & truly inspirational。

It's a lovely and very useful book， even if you don't have serious problems。 Most of us lock ourselves into some kind of mental prison， so chances are you'll find something in here that you'll relate to。 It's also a bit like a reference guide， you can look up the relevant chapter anytime later。The unconditional love with wich Dr。 Edie turns to her patients and readers is almost palpable throughout the pages， it gives you a very warm feeling。 :） There are great stories to help you understand the It's a lovely and very useful book， even if you don't have serious problems。 Most of us lock ourselves into some kind of mental prison， so chances are you'll find something in here that you'll relate to。 It's also a bit like a reference guide， you can look up the relevant chapter anytime later。The unconditional love with wich Dr。 Edie turns to her patients and readers is almost palpable throughout the pages， it gives you a very warm feeling。 :） There are great stories to help you understand the points she makes。 It's also a sneak peek into her life， so you can enjoy it on that level， too :） 。。。more

Love it， to have near you and read more than one time the entire book again or only one chapter。 Helpful in the kindest way。

This book is amazing because it makes you think。 To quote the author: " Ignorance is the enemy of"， but also "the catalyst for hope"。Victimhood， avoidance， self-neglect， secrets， guilt and shame， unresolved grief， rigidity， resentment， paralysing fear， judgement， hopelessness and not forgiving are all the chapters and subjects discussed in the book。 She highlights their roles in not allowing one to live one's best life。 The old adage - 'Time heals' - is not truly accurate。 What heals is what you This book is amazing because it makes you think。 To quote the author: " Ignorance is the enemy of"， but also "the catalyst for hope"。Victimhood， avoidance， self-neglect， secrets， guilt and shame， unresolved grief， rigidity， resentment， paralysing fear， judgement， hopelessness and not forgiving are all the chapters and subjects discussed in the book。 She highlights their roles in not allowing one to live one's best life。 The old adage - 'Time heals' - is not truly accurate。 What heals is what you do with the time。 "The choice to live every moment as a gift， to embrace what IS"。She strongly advocates to love yourself with positive input - yes I am， yes I can and yes I will。 Another interesting comment: Forgiveness is something we do for ourselves， freeing us from the burden of being victims/prisoners of the past。 What's done is done - it is up to you yourself to heal the wound。 "Freedom comes from letting go of the need to be right"。And 'turning the other cheek' means looking at the same thing from a new perspective。 。。。more

Outstanding！ Everything about this story （audiobook） is outstanding: The author's personal story of her Auschwitz experience and how she worked to overcome her later emotional difficulties， the personal accounts of her clinical psychology patients， and amazing kids and grandkids and the struggles they labored to overcome， the lessons you can learn from all these things to use as a tool to resolve your own personal issues。 Outstanding！ Everything about this story （audiobook） is outstanding: The author's personal story of her Auschwitz experience and how she worked to overcome her later emotional difficulties， the personal accounts of her clinical psychology patients， and amazing kids and grandkids and the struggles they labored to overcome， the lessons you can learn from all these things to use as a tool to resolve your own personal issues。 。。。more

Creo que le haría mucho bien leer este libro a cualquier persona que esté lidiando con traumas。 Es un complemento a la terapia， tiene "ejercicios" al finalizar cada capítulo。 Me gustó mucho porque no se siente condescendiente como otros libros de autoayuda， ni dramatizado o cursi， y sus enseñanzas me hicieron sentido。 Probablemente volveré a leerlo。 Creo que le haría mucho bien leer este libro a cualquier persona que esté lidiando con traumas。 Es un complemento a la terapia， tiene "ejercicios" al finalizar cada capítulo。 Me gustó mucho porque no se siente condescendiente como otros libros de autoayuda， ni dramatizado o cursi， y sus enseñanzas me hicieron sentido。 Probablemente volveré a leerlo。 。。。more

This is a great read for anyone suffering with past trauma。 You can't fail to be uplifted and empowered by the author and the lessons within the book。 I think the stories/lessons would appeal and speak to anyone who has been through a traumatic event。 Even when you think you are over that event and have managed it， the book may open up wounds and make you realise that actually you haven't managed it all， but rather buried it and carried on with these repressed emotions。 Speaking from past experi This is a great read for anyone suffering with past trauma。 You can't fail to be uplifted and empowered by the author and the lessons within the book。 I think the stories/lessons would appeal and speak to anyone who has been through a traumatic event。 Even when you think you are over that event and have managed it， the book may open up wounds and make you realise that actually you haven't managed it all， but rather buried it and carried on with these repressed emotions。 Speaking from past experience and from a clinical professional background Egar takes us on a journey that may be confronting but is equally healing and inspiring。 。。。more

La autora de este libro es toda una inspiración para la vida。 Es un libro que te deja pensando en cómo puedes mejorar tu propio bienestar y además te sugiere algunas tareas para tomar más consciencia respecto a liberarte del dolor， trauma y sufrimiento。 Totalmente recomendable。

Nem szeretem az önsegítő könyveket， mert túl megmondók， túl tutibiztos recepteket kínálnak， vagy túlságosan elemzők。Ez a könyv nem volt ilyen。Nem tolakodott， nem akart megváltani， nem mondta， hogy csak ez a tuti。A szerző maga is átélt egyet s mást hosszú élete során， és részint ezekből， részint páciensei történeteiből， azokon keresztül mutatja meg， hogy lehetünk esendők， lehetünk tökéletlenek， ÉS ezzel együtt csodás emberi létezők。12 fejezeten vezet keresztül önmagunkhoz， minden fejezet végén， a Nem szeretem az önsegítő könyveket， mert túl megmondók， túl tutibiztos recepteket kínálnak， vagy túlságosan elemzők。Ez a könyv nem volt ilyen。Nem tolakodott， nem akart megváltani， nem mondta， hogy csak ez a tuti。A szerző maga is átélt egyet s mást hosszú élete során， és részint ezekből， részint páciensei történeteiből， azokon keresztül mutatja meg， hogy lehetünk esendők， lehetünk tökéletlenek， ÉS ezzel együtt csodás emberi létezők。12 fejezeten vezet keresztül önmagunkhoz， minden fejezet végén， az adott témához kapcsolódó， könnyed， akár már-már szórakoztató leckével， melyek segítenek felismerni csodálatos voltunkat。Csak ajánlai tudom。De vigyázat: vissza-vissza fogsz kanyarodni hozzá！ 。。。more
