5.0 out of 5 stars Great insights
Enjoyed this book. Lots of insights and info. Hard lessons with lots of truth. Makes you think differently.
5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book
This book is wonderful. It gave the reader something to think about. Here this woman has gone through he'll and returned a positive living person. She makes you think and you can't help but have gratitude for your own life. The recipes are what my grandmother made when I was growing up. You won't be disappointed when you get this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars A good read that imparts practical wisdom for mind and soul
A great read that relates wisdom for the mind and soul as the gift we all have inside us, if only we practically apply it . Plus the author lets you immerse yourself in the culture a bit with her special recipes.
5.0 out of 5 stars Use Your Losses to Your Advantage
This is a memoir, how-to and just fun book on a subject that applies to all of us.Having survived the holocaust, Dr. Eger shows us how she struggled with forgiveness, being enough, and being the message of change.This is an "in-your-face" walk through so many of life's challenges that anticipate readers' resistances.I was impressed by her saying that when she asks all new patients, "What is something that you do too much of?" Discovering that, she tells readers is the beginning of discovering what's broken from within our psyche.While I'm sure that I will reread this book many times, few areas that I will especially pay attention to are:Page 128, she advises a patient, "The next time he tells you you're wrong your answer is: 'You're right.' He can't fight with that. And you're not lying, because everybody makes mistakes; anybody could improve. Just say, 'Yes, you're right.'""If we deny an accusation, we're still accepting blame."Page 132, she asks, "Would you like to be married to you?" This is followed with five questions that holds you accountable for your part in your relationship, and especially in your relationship with yourself.Page 174 - 176, "Hope is the conviction that you survived all that you survied so that you can be a good role model. An ambassador for freedom. A person who focuses not on what you've lost, but on what's still here for you, on the work you're called to do. There's always something to do.""Set a timer for ten minutes and make a list of as many things as you can think of that are better now than they were five years ago."I've never met Dr. Eger, I live minutes from her.But reading this book, witnessing what she has overcome and the decisions that she made to overcome those challenges, I believe, on one level, we have met.Thank you, for guiding me to new questions that guide me to travel deeper into my psyche.
5.0 out of 5 stars such an inspiration and fun enjoyable to read
I may have a new hero. If only I didn’t cringe at the word hero. Maybe better said would be there’s a woman who has written two books that I would be honored to know and can daydream about being friends…. But really I just appreciate her words and insight and story telling ability very much and am grateful to her for writing it all down for all of us to take in and add to the depth of our own understanding and how we walk this earth each day.
4.0 out of 5 stars Good story but a bit repetitive
I read this right after reading her first book (The Choice), and if you've already read that one then this one may seem a bit repetitive. I'm sure she wrote this one with the intention of reaching those who may not have read The Choice, but still, I found myself wanting more different information. Still a great book though... whereas The Choice is more of a memoir, The Gift has more practical, psychological points, so depending on what you're looking for you may enjoy one or the other more and not need to read both.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful!
Excellent book! A must read!
5.0 out of 5 stars Unlocking our mental prisons
There are only two shelves of keepers on my bookcase and The Gift has earned permanent lodging on one. After surviving Auschwitz, herded by ruthless Nazis on a death march as Allies approached, and left for dead in a field of corpses, Dr. Eger was miraculously discovered and rescued by American soldiers. Yet, she came to believe that the lifelong mental prisons we create for ourselves are the most damaging. In The Gift, the author focuses on 12 of the most common, dedicating a chapter to each, which can be read sequentially or separately, reading and rereading each one as needed. Embedded within are many words of wisdom, rare jewels worth remembering such as: "To heal doesn't mean to get over it, but it does mean that we are able to be wounded and whole, to find happiness and fulfillment in our lives, despite our loss." Ultimately, the real gift is Edith Eger herself, who at 94 is a true national treasure who teaches us how to endure, to have compassion for others and ourselves, and to live life with joie de vivre.
Awesome Gifts
Wonderful lessons to survive in life. I think I read it when I needed it most and it was terrific experience of journey with the book.
She hit the nail on the head!
If you’re someone that has been through trauma after trauma and yet has had a difficult time finding help, this book can offer some tools for relief.I have found that therapists and psychologists often lack empathy and do things by the book. They sit with a checklist and evaluate you as a medical file instead of seeing you as a person with real trauma, hurts or areas of being underdeveloped due to fear or coping mechanisms.Edith is someone who can speak with authority to people that have suffered and need to overcome from their mental prisons. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and she has lived her journey of healing.I wish that I could have coffee with her and glean from her wisdom. This is as close as I’ll get.I just read the first chapter on victimhood and I swear it was like having an intensive emotional breakthrough and therapist appointment in one. She hit the nail on the head.It’s a small book but not a fast read. Take it slow. Be honest with yourself while reading it.
