The Choice

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.

A HISTÓRIA DE SUPERAÇÃO, RESILIÊNCIA E CORAGEM DE UMA SOBREVIVENTE DO HOLOCAUSTO. “Um lindo livro de memórias que evoca as grandes obras de Anne Frank e Viktor Frankl. Muito mais que um livro; uma obra de arte.” – Adam Grant, autor de Originais “Não consigo imaginar uma mensagem mais importante para os tempos modernos. O livro de Edith Eger é triunfal, e deve ser lido por todas as pessoas que se importam com a própria liberdade interior e com o futuro da humanidade.” – The New York Times “Não existe uma hierarquia do sofrimento. Não há nada que torne a minha dor maior ou menor que a sua, nenhum gráfico no qual possamos registrar a importância relativa de uma dor sobre a outra. Não quero que você leia minha história e diga, 'Meu sofrimento é menos importante'. Quero que você afirme ‘Se você pode fazer isso, eu também posso!’." Edith Eger A bailarina de Auschwitz é a história inspiradora e inesquecível de uma mulher que viveu os horrores da guerra e, décadas depois, encontrou no perdão a possibilidade de ajudar outras pessoas a se libertarem dos traumas do passado. Edith Eger era uma bailarina de 16 anos quando o Exército alemão invadiu seu vilarejo na Hungria. Seus pais foram enviados à câmara de gás, mas ela e a irmã sobreviveram. Edith foi encontrada pelos soldados americanos em uma pilha de corpos dados como mortos. Mesmo depois de tanto sofrimento e humilhação nas mãos dos nazistas, e após anos e anos tendo que lidar com as terríveis lembranças e a culpa, ela escolheu perdoá-los e seguir vivendo com alegria. Já adulta e mãe de família, resolveu cursar psicologia. Hoje ela trata pacientes que também lutam contra o transtorno de estresse pós-traumático e já transformou a vida de veteranos de guerra, mulheres vítimas de violência doméstica e tantos outros que, como ela, precisaram enfrentar a dor e reconstruir a própria vida. Este é um relato emocionante de suas memórias e de casos reais de pessoas que ela ajudou. Uma lição de resiliência e superação, em que Edith nos ensina que todos nós podemos escapar à prisão da nossa própria mente e encontrar a liberdade, não importam as circunstâncias.

At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger, a trained ballet dancer and gymnast, was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, the 'Angel of Death, ' Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement--and her survival. He rewarded her with a loaf of bread that she shared with her fellow prisoners--an act of generosity that would later save her life. Edie and her sister survived multiple death camps and the Death March. When the American troops liberated the camps in 1945 they found Edie barely alive in a pile of corpses. Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor's guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past ... Today, at ninety years old, Edie is a renowned psychologist and speaker who specializes in treating patients suffering from traumatic stress disorders. She ... weaves her remarkable personal account of surviving the Holocaust and overcoming its ghosts of anger, shame, and guilt with the moving stories of those she has helped heal. She explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom...

14 Lessons to Save Your Life

„Tato kniha vypráví neobyčejný příběh o hrdinství a uzdravení, o odhodlání i soucitu, o psychické odolnosti a morální odvaze i o tom, jak se důstojně vyrovnat s rolí oběti. V osobních i profesních zkušenostech Edith Egerové lze najít inspiraci v jakékoli životní situaci.“ Philip Zimbardo Osobnost mezinárodního významu s kořeny v předválečném Československu Doporučujeme všem čtenářům Hany Ve své knize, která je víc než jen memoárovou literaturou, nám Edith Egerová předkládá nejen napínavý a působivý příběh vlastního života, ale také inspirativní příběhy svých pacientů. Na jejich pozadí nám ukazuje, že všichni máme na výběr – rozhodnout se vystoupit z role oběti, osvobodit se z pout minulosti a začít naplno žít. Edith Eva Egerová se narodila 29. září 1927 v maďarské židovské rodině v Košicích. V pouhých šestnácti letech ji nacisti deportovali do Osvětimi, kde jí zavraždili rodiče a kde musela tančit Mengelemu. Spolu se sestrou Magdou přežila několik lágrů i pochod smrti. V roce 1945 ji američtí vojáci vytáhli z hromady mrtvol v Mauthausenu. Ještě desítky let po válce bojovala s traumaty a pocitem viny. V Americe, kam nakonec s manželem za dramatických okolností po komunistickém převratu emigrovala, si udělala doktorát z klinické psychologie, vychovala tři děti a otevřela si terapeutickou praxi. Na žádost americké armády začala pomáhat vojákům ohroženým posttraumatickým stresovým syndromem. O své vlastní minulosti přitom zpočátku vůbec nedokázala mluvit. Pak se ale odhodlala mlčení prolomit a po pětatřiceti letech se vydala do Auschwitz. Teprve tam pochopila, že aby se mohla uzdravit, musí nejdřív odpustit. Ne Hitlerovi nebo Mengelovi. Ale sama sobě.
