I graduate with my masters in counseling in a few weeks and reading this book was such a gift. Truly one of the most incredible stories I have ever read. Edith Eger displays so much resilience and tells her story in a concise, thoughtful way.

10/10 recommend

Entrando a este libro, no tenía expectativa, ni buena ni mala, fue elegido por mi club de lectura, entonces no pregunto, solo leo. Coincide que el tema de guerra y supervivencia judía ya ha sido tocado pero nunca como en este libro.

Aquí podemos ver los horrores de primera mano, pero lo más importante es la gran historia de supervivencia personal (aprendí que superviviente no es lo mismo que sobreviviente). Edith nos regala la historia de su vida y se pone al nivel de cualquier persona con un trauma, para darnos cuenta que todos podemos ser supervivientes en nuestras vidas. Todos pasamos por situaciones que necesitan sanar y son igual de validas, nos invita a reconocer estos traumas, miedos, ira, tristeza y afrontarnos con ellos para poder perdonarnos y ser libres.

I was very surprised by this book. I expecting just your average self help book. And while there was definitely an element of therapy in it, I was captivated by her story. I enjoyed it from the minute it began! And it did not end after she was liberated from the camp. No, to me that is where things got really interesting! From there, I could not put the book down and was actually on the edge of my seat! This person has a fantastic story and an amazing message that can apply to anyone. Only you can make the choice to be a survivor. Highly recommend this book to anyone.

Oh and I feel it may be important to add that as far as WWll books go, this is one of the more mild ones go as far as graphic content.
