What a subjective ideation can do – highly recommend
Many have reviewed almost all the aspects of this book. The book that strikes me the most is how much subjective determination can change a personâs fate and life trajectory and how education and knowledge can advance and strengthen this change. We were inspired by the authorâs mental strength and sagacious choices at several pivotal moments in her life, and we also learned the history of her darkest years during WWII. Some of the background stories, to me, were first heard. For example, some prisoners had to eat the dead inmateâs flesh to survive, and one of the assignments of the survival prisoners was to take the only remaining valuable items from the dead bodies to finance the Nazi war before burying the crops, etc…For memoirs, the stories may be described more subjectively based on the authorsâ views and feelings. But I must say, in some episodes of this memoir, the scenes were unduly dramatized, especially while describing a few instantaneous psychological moments at the concentration camp. Under extremely adverse circumstances, living creatures do things by instinct with no time for alternatives or rational processing. It is hard for the readers to distinguish whether the lengthy descriptions of the instant mental adjustments in several life-or-death consequential moments are the well-processed judgments on the scenes or the looking-back explanations for decisions made at that time. I do not feel those descriptions added more convincing value to the theme of this book.This is a valuable book that I would recommend to anyone who loves reading. The authorâs English is witty and vivid. It is impressive and admirable that the author, as an adult immigrant, learned to perfect her English and received a high professional education in her middle age.

Truly Inspiring
This is a beautiful, absolutely pitch-perfect memoir by Dr. Edith Eger. I was not familiar with Dr. Eger prior to reading this, and I am grateful to her for sharing her story.The book is organized into four sections: Prison, Escape, Freedom, and Healing. I would describe it as three parts memoir, one part therapy. It would be enough, simply for nanogeneraian Dr. Eger to tell us her story and share the important events she witnessed in her lifetime. But she is not satisfied to make this book only about her experience. She is clearly a committed therapist who understands pain and forgiveness uniquely, and has a very powerful message that to truly live a full life, we need to make the choice not only to forgive, but to forgive ourselves.I describe the book as pitch-perfect because from the introduction, Dr. Eger explains that there is no heirarchy when it comes to suffering. She does not tell her story so that the reader will minimize their own suffering in comparison, that would just be another way of judging ourselves. As a therapist, she understands that someone whose suffering may seem superficial to others, is generally attributed to something much more deeply rooted, and representative of a much larger pain. I find it extraordinary that she is capable of empathizing with others to this extent. When you read her story, and I hope you do, you will understand the extent of her personal suffering. Not only what she endured in her youth, but as an adult coming to terms with everything she lost, and finding a way to let it be her strength, instead of imagining what her life would have been had it not been interrupted by the cruelty and injustice of the Holocaust. I can not find the words to describe the depth of her compassion.Life is about choices, and I am guilty of the destructive thinking that Dr. Eger drescribes in the book. In my Midewestern upbringing, I was raised to take responsibility for my choices. I pride myself in this responsibility. What this book has made me realize that often in my experience, this has been a punishing idea – there are choices, and there are consequences. But life is not that simple, there are choices and more choices. Often we choose to punish ourselves. In doing so, we are imprisoning ourselves with our own beliefs – of not feeling worthy, a fear of making a bad choice… The author is open about choices she made in her own life, and that they may not have been the best ones. Everyone suffers. Everyone has endured the consequences of their own poor choices. But to live our best life, we must continue to make choices, instead of allowing ourselves to be imprisoned by our past.Thank you, Dr. Edith Eva Eger for sharing your story and your wisdom. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an advance copy of The Choice for review. I enjoyed it so much I purchased a copy from Amazon as a gift.

This is a deeply meaningful and powerful book that I’m grateful to have read. Why is it so impactful? It ensures that we should never forget the Holocaust, the dangers of blindly following propaganda, and the depths of human cruelty.But why powerful? Through her own experience as a survivor, Edith guides us on how to find freedom, enjoy life, and avoid being consumed by our inner struggles and those we love.Read it, reflect on it, learn from it!
