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 * 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 * 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 * |
