Overview

This practical and inspirational guide to healing from the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Choice shows us how to stop destructive patterns and imprisoning thoughts to find freedom and enjoy life.

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.

Eger explains that the worst prison she experienced is not the prison that Nazis put her in but the one she created for herself, the prison within her own mind. She describes the twelve most pervasive imprisoning beliefs she has known--including fear, grief, anger, secrets, stress, guilt, shame, and avoidance--and the tools she has discovered to deal with these universal challenges. Accompanied by stories from Eger's own life and the lives of her patients each chapter includes thought-provoking questions and takeaways, such as:

-Would you like to be married to you?
-Are you evolving or revolving?
-You can't heal what you can't feel.

Filled with empathy, insight, and humor, The Gift captures the vulnerability and common challenges we all face and provides encouragement and advice for breaking out of our personal prisons to find healing and enjoy life.

    This is a delightful and extremely practical book. No mere psychobabble, this Holocaust survivor is a therapist who has lived and continues to live the wisdom and knowledge she’s learned over nine decades of seeing the best and the worst of humanity. And still keeping a sense of humor to top it off.

    #SpringPicks The Gift was a wonderful gift for me. I would recommend this book to anyone that want to grow. "Life - even with its inevitable trauma, pain, grief, misery & death - is a gift.... To celebrate the gift of life is to find the gift in everything.... To live with joy, love & passion." "Keep showing up for yourself. All Day. Every Day." "What comes out of you doesn't make you sick; what stays in there does." It's a book about growth and healing. I didn't find anything I didn't like about it. Definitely a new favorite for me.
