Edith Eger: The Choice
Edith Eger is one of the few living Holocaust survivors to remember the horrors of the camps. Today, at 90 years old, Edie is a renowned psychologist and speaker who specializes in treating patients with traumatic stress disorders. She is author of the The Choice: Embrace the Possible*.
Key Points- It’s not what happens in life, it’s what we do with it.
- The power we have is to choose to respond, not react.
- Sometimes seemingly insignificant worries are emblematic of greater pain.
- If you hate a person, they don’t suffer — you do. There’s nothing wrong with anger, it’s how you channel it.
- Underneath anger is a lot of pain.
- The Choice: Embrace the Possible* by Edith Eger
