The Choice
Author: Edith Eva Eger
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501130811
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
A New York Times Bestseller “I’ll be forever changed by Dr. Eger’s story…The Choice is a reminder of what courage looks like in the worst of times and that we all have the ability to pay attention to what we’ve lost, or to pay attention to what we still have.”—Oprah “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.” —Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate “Dr. Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero. She survived unspeakable horrors and brutality; but rather than let her painful past destroy her, she chose to transform it into a powerful gift—one she uses to help others heal.” —Jeannette Walls, New York Times bestselling author of The Glass Castle Winner of the National Jewish Book Award and Christopher Award At the age of sixteen, Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Hours after her parents were killed, Nazi officer Dr. Josef Mengele, forced Edie to dance for his amusement and her survival. Edie was pulled from a pile of corpses when the American troops liberated the camps in 1945. Edie spent decades struggling with flashbacks and survivor’s guilt, determined to stay silent and hide from the past. Thirty-five years after the war ended, she returned to Auschwitz and was finally able to fully heal and forgive the one person she’d been unable to forgive—herself. Edie weaves her remarkable personal journey with the moving stories of those she has helped heal. She explores how we can be imprisoned in our own minds and shows us how to find the key to freedom. The Choice is a life-changing book that will provide hope and comfort to generations of readers.

Book Description
Walk with Jo as she guides you through the kaleidoscope of change, basking at paths end in the comforting rays of your colourful awareness. The paths end is really only the beginning; the beginning of an awareness that embraces the welcome clarity only seen through the openness of mind and vulnerability of soul. A vulnerability sheltered by the safety of Jo's melodic words born from knowledge of paths already tread and transformations experienced. -Sandra J Kelly I thought I was going to be writing a conclusion. I have decided that it is not a conclusion but a beginning. This is a reawakening of your inner soul, your inner being of who you are. You have become so caught up in everyday life that you have lost sight of who you truly are. Well that is all going to change now. You have had the realisation that things can change for you. You do have a choice and you are now willing to see this important change in you. The time is right, because you have found this book when you needed it. You have been attracted to the cover. Like they always say, "the teacher will appear when the student is ready." If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be writing a book on meditation I never would have believed you. It is amazing what happens in your life when you open yourself up to believe. When you believe, wonderful, amazing, stupendous things present themselves to you. When you thought it was not possible. Believe in yourself, and watch an amazing journey begin in your life. Here's to you benefiting as much as I did from my own personal journey into the "self."
