Reviews The Choice pulls together stories and insights [Eger] has shared with people around the world for decades and reveals new dimensions of her remarkable life., A beautiful memoir, reminiscent of the great works of Anne Frank and Viktor Frankl. But it is more than a book--it is a work of art. It gave me goosebumps, the kind that grace you in transcendent moments of appreciating a Mozart sonata, an Elizabeth Barrett Browning sonnet, or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel., The Choice is a gift to humanity. One of those rare and eternal stories that you don't want to end and that leave you forever changed. Dr. Eger's life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well., A poignantly crafted memoir...a searing, astute study of intensive healing and self-acceptance through the absolution of suffering and atrocity., The Choice is a gift to humanity. One of those rare and eternal stories that you don't want to end and that leave you forever changed. Dr. Eger's life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well., Life's experiences can lead to contraction and grief and to expansion and love. The story of Edie Eger's WWII era experiences and her subsequent growth and life path is an incredible journey and victory of the human soul over the pain of human degradation., I can't imagine a more important message for modern times. Eger's book is a triumph, and should be read by all who care about both their inner freedom and the future of humanity., Edith's strength and courage are remarkable in this memoir as she draws on her own unthinkable experience in Nazi concentration camps to become a therapist and help others recover from all kinds of hardship. Her life and work are an incredible example of forgiveness, resilience and generosity., This book, no doubt, will be remembered as important for going beyond the realm of a Holocaust memoir and becoming a Holocaust life lesson., Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift - one she uses to help others heal., T he Choice... details [Eger's] time at Auschwitz, her escape, and how she became a groundbreaking clinical therapist who has paved the road for treatment of trauma survivors battling Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)., We brought Dr. Eger to work with our most troubled military personnel--people grappling with the most intense emotional scars from their experience in battle. Dr. Eger is a healer of the highest order. Personally, I have learned from this gifted human being, this indomitable survivor, this accomplished therapist more about humanity--and suffering--and resilience, than all my advanced degrees put together. Dr. Eger has informed and inspired me more than any other role model in my practice of thirty years. This effervescent, brawny, octogenarian has more than a story to tell, a therapy to offer, a journey to guide; she brings us to a new way of being., The Choice will be an extraordinary book on heroism, healing, resiliency, compassion, survival with dignity, mental toughness, and moral courage. It will appeal to millions of people who can learn from Dr. Eger's inspiring cases and shocking personal story as well as her profound clinical wisdom to heal their lives.

SynopsisA New York Times Bestseller "I'll be forever changed by Dr. Eger's story... The Choice is a reminder of what courage looks like in the worst of times and that we all have the ability to pay attention to what we've lost, or to pay attention to what we still have."--Oprah "Dr. Eger's life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well." --Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate "Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift--one she uses to help others heal." --Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when the American troops liberated the camps in 1945. Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor's guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past. Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to fully heal and forgive the one person she'd been unable to forgive--herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey 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. The Choice is a life-changing book that will provide hope and comfort to generations of readers.

A story of strength and positive power to rise above the evil that permeates our society.
Pointed strong subject on the emotional, heartbreak of what the hateful political and national opinions and actions of people against their fellow man can change the lives of millions. This is a must read of one person who lived it and overcame the torturous hate and made the choice to overcome and rise above the evil that has become so much a part of our world today.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Sad
A very hard novel to read and not get emotional. This is history, and those who read this book will be very moved. The story made me think of Anne Frank and what she went through had she had a chance to write about her experience in the concentration camp.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

A life changing experience
One of the best written books that I have read in a long time. This is the first book about a survivor of the Holocaust that I have read that was informative on a positive and very personal level. Dr. Ever is an amazing writer and her ability to share her story with such depth is beautiful. I highly recommend this book for any who is looking for the tools or desire to improve your ability and knowledge to free yourself from traumatic events that have held you from achieving your potential.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

A treasure
As with many books, sometimes, you just 'happen' upon a book at the right time, so keep that in mind when I say--this book radically changed my perspective on the power of my ability to choose. The voice is authentic, compassionate and yet in no way seeks to garner your sympathy. As Edith says: my trauma is not your trauma but that does not lessen the impact of our individual trauma we experienced. (my paraphrase). If you have EVER struggled with feeling a victim, even for 5 min, read. this.book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
