A practical and inspiring guide to healing the soul.
The second book by Edith Eger, author of the New York Times bestseller "The Choice" and recipient of several awards. You will learn how to break destructive behavioral patterns, stop limiting thoughts, and attain inner freedom.
After the release of the book "The Choice," thousands of people around the world wrote to Edith Eger about how the book deeply touched them and inspired them to confront their own past and attempt to heal their pain. Readers asked Dr. Eger to write another, more practical book that would encompass both her life experience and her work with patients. The book "The Gift" is such a guide.
In her new book, Edith Eger expands on her thoughts about healing and suggests a path that gently and carefully helps change the thoughts and beliefs that keep us trapped in the past. Dr. Eger explains that the most terrifying prison she found herself in was not the one the Nazis sent her to, but the one she created for herself, the prison of her own mind. The author describes 12 of the most common beliefs she knows that deprive us of freedom, including victim syndrome, avoidance, neglecting oneself, shame, judgment, unforgiveness, fear, despair, and offers tools for overcoming them. Each chapter is accompanied by stories from Dr. Eger's own life or from the lives of her patients and includes thought-provoking questions and conclusions.
