The Gift: A survivor’s journey to freedom [Paperback] Eger, Edith

If you thought you were dealt a bad deal in life, this book changes that belief. I found it helpful to read through the difficult life stories of people that encountered other inflicted tragedies on to them.There is a wealth of experience that one can pick up through the pages. Enjoy the journey, that is bound to leave you thinking about your life differently.

It is very practical book. It talks of very very small things but beneficial lot.Now a days amazon stopped sending paper separator. If they send it will be very good

Worth many re reads. Every chapter tells you something that you can do differently with life. A true masterpiece work

I did enjoy this, however please be aware that it is quite a short book, there is not as much content as I expected and a lot of it was already in her first book, the Choice, which I had read very recently. Therefore I didn’t enjoy it as much as I expected and for me it is not worth buying this if you have read the Choice. This is a more succinct distillation of her approach so if you are looking for a lighter read and haven’t already read the Choice (or are buying as a gift), I would recommend this. I would have preferred just slightly more theory, this is definitely aimed at the general reader. Edith Eger is a very inspirational lady.

I read the Choice and would highly recommend you read out before reading this book. Halfway in and it is so inspirational. As someone with mental health issues I find this book amazing and very helpful.

I bought this with the The Choice, heard a lot about these two books, listened to podcasts with dr Edith Eva Eger, she is remarkable!!! One of the most important book in my life.Everyone should buy it, and read daily, it costs less, than a fast food delivery.

This book covers every inner struggle one might ever experience, it is a book that I have been in awe of since reading the first time. Since then I have brought a copy for my mum and have insisted my daughters read it too. I have even loaned the book out to others that have experienced a difficult time as i thought certain chapters would perhaps be of use to them. Everyone should own a copy of this book, the realizations and understanding you can develop from this book are mind-blowing..an absolute must read, must gift, must share book.This book began my journey of self growth/self development on my healing journey, I am still working through mountains of studying, reading, and sharing and developing new ideas to figure out the new me but honestly I love myself more than I ever have as a result of reading this it's lead me to further read books about race, feminism, capitalism, relationships, healing etc. Thank you edith for inspiring me on my journey to recovery and education, your insight was exactly what I needed to spark my inner fire again.

I love this book. I have been a therapist for over twenty years and found this work refreshingly honest and direct . I highly recommend this book for anyone experiencing distress . I also however recommend for professional therapist as well , who like me may find the gathering together of a lifes work enlightening and encouraging.
