sophiemadgwick 's review for:
The Choice
by Edith Eva Eger
This is one of the best books I’ve read. It is the inspirational story of an amazing life written so bravely and honestly. I appreciated that unlike other war stories, only the first section is a recount of the war, and the rest of the book (the majority) follows Edith’s life after the war through her coping and healing.
I enjoyed all of the accounts of her psychology patients and the lessons to be learnt from them. I particularly appreciated how Edith wrote so honestly and in detail of her own motivations and processes for healing.
I feel like I have grown and learnt important lessons on accepting responsibility for my choices on how I react to situations and focus on what is important to me in my life.
This book is unlike anything I have read before and very different to what I expected but I am very grateful to have read it and I would recommend it to anyone, even with no interest in war or history.
