A very touching memoir with an expert psychological lens on the horrors and lasting effects of the holocaust. Dr. Eger is so inspiring. I discovered her when she was a guest on Brene Brown's podcast, and I loved her perspective so much that I immediately bought her book! No regrets at all!
There are both good and terrible things that I will never forget because of this book, and I don't regret it at all. I was less engaged in the last few chapters that focused on client experiences, but I still plan to read the "sequel" The Gift when I get a chance.
