Edith Eva Eger Libri

La psicologa di successo e rinomata relatrice Dr. Edith Eger è una delle ultime sopravvissute all'Olocausto. La sua storia toccante è un profondo testamento del trionfo dell'umanità sull'odio e ci mostra che abbiamo sempre la libertà di scegliere nella vita. A 16 anni, nel 1944, Edith Eger fu deportata dal suo paese natale, l'Ungheria, ad Auschwitz, dove subì esperienze inimmaginabili: vide sua madre entrare nella camera a gas e dovette danzare davanti a Josef Mengele. È quasi un miracolo che Edith sia sopravvissuta agli orrori dei campi nazisti. Negli Stati Uniti, costruì una nuova vita accanto a suo marito e divenne psicologa e terapeuta. Il suo libro caloroso e pieno di vita è più della straordinaria storia di una sopravvissuta all'Olocausto. Attraverso il suo personale percorso e casi tratti dalla sua pratica terapeutica, Edith Eger ci guida su come liberarci dalle prigioni della nostra psiche, facendoci comprendere che abbiamo sempre una scelta nella vita.
