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.
作者简介
· · · · · ·
An eminent psychologist and one of the few remaining Holocaust survivors old enough to remember life in the camps, Dr. Edith Eger has worked with veterans, military personnel, and victims of physical and mental trauma. She lives in La Jolla, California. She is the author of the award-winning book The Choice and The Gift.
Suffering is universal, but victimhood is optional. Victimhood comes from the inside. No one can make you a victim but you. We become victims not because of what happens to us but when we choose to hold on to our victimization. We develop a victim's mind - a way of thinking and being that is rigid, blaming, pessimistic, stuck in the past, unforgiving, punitive, and without healthy limits or boundaries. We become our own jailors when we choose the confines of the victim's mind. (查看原文)

What an insightful investigation of our minds which the author does so gently, without being brutally probed, as if an erudite friend whom we all wish to have, guiding us through the emotional storm. What I really like about this book is that it has all of ...

能治愈伤痛，让我们走出困境的并不是时间本身，而是取决于我们以怎样的方式去面对，去过活。不困囿于过去，活在当下

3.5 一个集中营幸存者的人生故事 算是实现了自我救赎吧 还有美国梦 后半是一些clinical psychology的case 比较一般 总的来说我还是不太喜欢自传的 还是更喜欢客观视角描述一个人或者一个事件

这是一场非常艰难的阅读，读完后久久不能平静。不是因为语言，是因为作者在奥斯维辛的经历太痛苦了，以至于几度想要放弃。但是当她终于重获自由，后面用漫长的一生来治愈那一段苦难，这本书也迎来了最值得阅读的部分。几乎是哭着读完她再次回到奥斯维辛的那部分文字，漫长的创伤疗愈走到了最难的一段路。当她走出时，我似乎也跟着她走出了。 她用自己的一生告诉读者，人，真的是有选择的。

Suppressing the feelings only makes it harder to let them go. Expression is the opposite of depression. 抑制感受只会让你更难放手。表达是抑郁的反义词。 打算明天看看奥维辛斯的纪录片。
