The Choice

De: Edith Eger

Narrado por: Tovah Feldshuh

Random House presents the audiobook edition of The Choice by Edith Eger, read by Tovah Feldshuh with an introduction by the author.

'The Choice is a gift to humanity. One of those rare and eternal stories that you don't want to end and that leaves you forever changed' DESMOND TUTU, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate

Edith Eger was a gymnast and ballerina when she was sent to Auschwitz at the age of sixteen. There, she was made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele. Her heroic actions helped her sister to survive, and her bunkmates to save her life, during a death march, after which she was found in a pile of bodies, barely alive. She recovered and moved to America, going on to become an eminent psychologist, and giving the keynote address at Viktor Frankl's 90th birthday party.

Like Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, Dr Edith Eger's important book, The Choice, could change your life. Eger shares stories of the Holocaust and the experiences of her clients , who range from survivors of abuse to soldiers suffering from PTSD. She explains how many of us live within a mind that has become a prison and shows how freedom becomes possible once we confront our suffering. Warm, wise and compassionate, The Choice offers profound insights into the nature of human suffering, and our capacity to heal.

Reseñas de la Crítica

I can’t imagine a more important message for modern times. Eger’s book is a triumph, and should be read by all who care about both their inner freedom and the future of humanity

Extraordinary….will stick with you long after you read it (Bill Gates)

The Choice is a gift to humanity. One of those rare and eternal stories that you don't want to end and that leaves you forever changed. Dr. Eger's life reveals our capacity to transcend even the greatest of horrors and to use that suffering for the benefit of others. She has found true freedom and forgiveness and shows us how we can as well

A masterpiece of holocaust literature. Her memoir, like her life, is extraordinary, harrowing and inspiring in equal measure

Eger's remarkable spirit shines through in every word

Edith’s strength and courage are remarkable in this memoir as she draws on her own unthinkable experience in Nazi concentration camps to become a therapist and help others recover from all kinds of hardship. Her life and work are an incredible example of forgiveness, resilience and generosity.

I can’t describe to you how powerful this book is … I barely have words.

There have been many heartrending Holocaust books. But few as powerful as this new memoir by a ballet dancer.

Exceptional…Eger became a friend of Viktor Frankl…and The Choice is a wonderful companion piece to his classic memoir Man’s Search for Meaning. Both books are full of hope…and leave you marvelling at the resilience of mankind

One of the most incredible [stories] I’ve ever read – and one you must read too

Incredible read.

This is one of THE best books I have read in ages. It's not just a biography of survival, it really gives an incredible perspective on trauma, it's impacts and how she personally walked through her own triggers with such courage. Because she is a clinical psychologist she is also able to articulate how our minds are our prisons.
I am SO glad I read it.

life changing is an understatement

This book is incredible it should be a mandatory read and on everyone's set list!

Wonderful performance

What a beautiful story - one that changes you and leaves you with a wonderful warmth and the knowledge that forgiveness ultimately sets you free!!

Power

This is truth revealed in words, not of religion but of learned experience. Choice is certainly a classic I would recommend to anyone who cares for positive living and good success in life.
As a faith based life coach, I couldn't have said it better. Only to add that this was always the Father's will for us, something our fallen evil nature has not and indeed cannot take away from us; the power of the will.
As it is written in the holy writ: "choose this day..."

Most profound book

A recount of a life so well lived
All our lives are stories .. this one stands out ...
A lesson from start to finish ...many lessons
A solution to the troubles of the 21st century - emotionally healthy individuals leads to an emotionally healthy society
Reason for hope thank you Edith Eger
Governments should consult you !
