I recommend this book to everyone! There is wisdom on every page of this book that is beneficial for everyone. I am in awe of the beautiful calm with which this story is written because it contains a lifetime of trauma that is healing.

One of the best books I have read this year. Edith tells her story and the stories of others, what she has learned in her life as a survivor and as a psychologist. In this book she shows portraits of different people and the way trauma manifests after years. She shows compassion and empathy and she tells things raw. This book changed me. If you read one book this year, it has to be this one.

Wow. I’d give this a 1000/5 if I could! Dr. Eger’s story is utterly and completely inspiring, emotional, and uplifting. That someone subjected to so much heinousness in her life can reflect on her past with such clarity and light is remarkable. I hope to one day be able to live in the present as she does, forgive myself and others with ease, and choose to live a life of joy, purpose, and passion.

This was very good - lots of gems in it and I appreciated her approach to come to terms with one's own trauma. I do wish she talked a bit more about her son though (she briefly mentioned he has disabilities, but we learn next to nothing about how this affected her motherhood or marriage, or what she learned from this experience of having a child with cerebral palsy)

начало довольно скучное
под конец как она начинает свою историю, становится очень интересно
правда насколько это правильно называть людские страдания интересными,но не в этом суть

deze vrouw!
