This was a very moving and emotional read. Learning about Edith’s experience throughout WWII and being a survivor. Later in life she becomes a psychologist and tells the stories of many of her patients, and how through healing them, she helped to heal herself.
I have only given 3 stars, as although a good read with some great messages, I thought there was too many accounts of the people she had treated, and personally I got a little bored of reading them.

This was one of the first somewhat self help like and autobiographical books that I read so I was a bit new to this idea. It tells the true story of the author as she is sent to Auschwitz and comments on how she heals following these unimaginable and horrendous experiences. She moves to the US and helps others deal with trauma and forgiveness.

Kitokia, labai stipri knyga apie holokaustą ir gyvenimą po jo.
"Each of us has an Adolf Hitler and a Corrie Ten Boom in us-the capacity to hate and the capacity to love. Which one we reach for is up to us."
This quote really struck me..
Dr Edith Eger is a holocaust survivor who went on to become a psychologist specializing in trauma, working with many ptsd soldiers and patients. Her life story is an amazing journey of learning to overcome her own ptsd, trauma and heal from with in. It is a story of choice, of how not to become a victim of your past, how not to become a prisoner of your past. Dr Edith imparts such good wisdom interspersed with stories of her past or examples of her patients. I took four pages of notes in reading this book. It is warm and engaging, and yes, at times horrifying to know what human beings are capable of. "Time doesn't heal, it's what you do with the time" May we all make the most of our time.
