"No podemos decidir hacer desaparecer la oscuridad, pero podemos decidir encender la luz."

Este es uno de los libros que te cambian y te dejan una marca de por vida, estoy bastante segura que este libro estará presente conmigo a lo largo del año.

No es una historia común de una superviviente del holocausto, es una historia de una superviviente que te da consejos sobre como sanar esas heridas que uno lleva cargando desde hace mucho tiempo. Al terminarlo me dejo sin palabras, al momento de leer su historia pude sentir muchos sentimientos, demasiados. Sentí que fue un proceso terapéutico leer este libro.

Es un libro extraordinario que siento debería ser una lectura obligatoria en especial en estos tiempos tan terribles que hay en el mundo.

One of the most beautiful and empowering books I've ever had the honor to read. I read this slowly, deliberately. I allowed myself to go on a personal journey with it, to see my own pain and suffering reflected in its words. To allow myself to grow, evolve, heal, and bloom alongside it. I'm grateful for the journey I've taken by reading this. It has come at the perfect time when I've needed it most, when I made a conscious choice to commit to and choose freedom. Thank you, Dr. Edith Eger.

This book surprised and touched me in ways I didn’t know could happen. It is a truly fascinating account of how one can rebuild themselves after experiencing the worst atrocity.

Some details were tough to read and will stay with me for a long time. Important message.

“What if blaming yourself is just another way of maintaining the fantasy that the world is in your control?”

What a powerful, moving memoir. I cried often and felt inspired by this incredible woman

It feels like such a rare thing for a Holocaust book to be published in 2017! I loved The Choice and how Eger dived not only into her experiences of the Holocaust but also how she dealt with the trauma afterwards. This is a book I hope I read again. I'm lowering my rating slightly as I did find some of her therapist experiences less powerful/slightly disjointed.
