Heartbreaker

Straight up, no BS, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Edith Eger who is a Holocaust survivor writes about her journey through the concentration camp of Auschwitz during World War 2 to becoming an eminent psychologist. The book not only centers around her life and the many lessons that she has learned from her experiences but also the lives of her patients and how she helps them through their own lives. I liked the psychological take on the book towards hardships and our ability to ultimately rise above it, no matter how minute or big it can be.

“the willingness to take absolute responsibility for your life; the willingness to risk; the willingness to release yourself from judgment and reclaim your innocence, accepting and loving yourself for who you really are—human, imperfect, and whole.”
