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

"Has my generation taught the youth well enough to prevent another Holocaust from occurring? Or will our hard-won freedom capsize in a new sea of hate?" pg 225
This book has me all in my feelings. Genocide is so disgusting and I wish we as a humanity would be better and stop hurting those of our own kind. I am thankful to have read this book and know Dr. Edith Eger's story. I thought it was smart how she broke the book down into Prison, Escape, Freedom, and Healing. She has lived such a long life and shows so much wisdom throughout this book. The idea that we get the choice to choose how we move forward from trauma or challenges in general is something I want to carry with me. No one can take what is in your mind. This book is so much more than a story of tragedies but a story of coming of age, of growing through the thickest storm. Where you see you parents as just human beings with fears. I find it amazing that Dr. Eger can hold so much forgiveness in herself and can only wish that I can learn to do the same. To step out of the past and move forward. I would've loved to hear more about Dr. Edith and Marianne's mother-daughter relationship especially after learning about her's with her mother. I also like that she included some cases from her career. I found that a lot of the couples also were imprisoned by the social norms pushed on them and I hope that I can overcome those that are placed on me and just be happy,
Other Quotes:
"You can live to avenge the past or you can live to enrich the present" pg 175
"Revenge perpetuates the cycle of hate. It keeps the hate circling on and on. When we seek revenge even nonviolent revenge we are revolving not evolving" pg 213
"Doing what is right is rarely the same as doing what is safe" pg 255
