Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

This practical and inspirational guide to healing from the bestselling author of The Choice shows us how to release your self-limiting beliefs and embrace your potential.

The prison is in your mind. The key is in your pocket.

In the end, it's not what happens to us that matters most - it's what we choose to do with it. We all face suffering - sadness, loss, despair, fear, anxiety, failure. But we also have a choice; to give in and give up in the face of trauma or difficulties, or to live every moment as a gift.

Celebrated therapist and Holocaust survivor, Dr Edith Eger, provides a hands-on guide that gently encourages us to change the imprisoning thoughts and destructive behaviours that may be holding us back. Accompanied by stories from Eger's own life and the lives of her patients her empowering lessons help you to see your darkest moments as your greatest teachers and find freedom through the strength that lies within.

Critic reviews

Edith Eva Eger is my kind of hero… 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, author of The Glass Castle)
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)
I’ll be forever changed by Dr. Eger’s story… we all have the ability to pay attention to what we’ve lost, or to pay attention to what we still have (Oprah)
Wise and provocative
Dr Edith Eger knows better than most how trauma and sadness can affect us all. This hopeful and helpful book explains how rather than limiting us they can transform our lives. An essential read for tough times (Rangan Chatterjee)
Hopeful and helpful (Marian Keyes)
This woman will change your life ... The Gift should be required reading for all humans (Maria Forleo)
The Gift is quite simply a phenomenal read and in my view a must-read for all of us (Dr Rangan Chatterjee)

A absolute must listen or read book. Compelling, thought provoking, inspiring, very helpful and definitely life changing for me. What a woman!..and it's amazing to know she wrote this at 92! Incredible. And the title is very appropriate too...thankyou for The Gift. I have just purchased the book to read and will listen again to the audible version. The narrator was excellent too.
