Thanks for the tag @KVanRead - a great one this week!
This book is the first one I thought of. The author spent time in Auschwitz as a teenager and is now a 90 year old psychotherapist in the US, using her experience to help others to understand themselves and their lives.
Such a wonderful woman and this book really taught me something too.
Have you played this game yet? @jenniferw88
Mini book-haul pre-ordered from my local indie and picked up today. I may also have bought books for upcoming birthday Littens! 😁
I read The Gift as a #netgalley ARC and loved it so decided I wanted a real copy to re-read and reflect.
Dear Life is a memoir from a palliative care nurse and, having recently lost a family member cared for in a Hospice, and now just started a new job in the same Hospice, I wanted to read this to learn more.
This is the author‘s follow-up to The Choice, which described her time as a teenager in Auschwitz. Now in her 90s, the author is a psychologist and she describes this book as a ‘self-help‘ book.
I found this really inspiring, with lots of relatable examples, and practical tasks to try at the end of each chapter.
This was a #netgalley ARC but I‘m going to buy the book so I can have a copy on my shelf to refer back to.
I‘ve just had an email from Edie Eger‘s publisher. They gave me a pencil on my NetGalley review. I‘m ridiculously chuffed!
If any UK folks are interested, she‘s scheduled to be on Newsnight tomorrow (Thursday) - the new book also comes out tomorrow. @squirrelbrain @TrishB @Caroline2 @youneverarrived
Edith Eger is a remarkable human being. Now in her 90s, she survived Auschwitz, and in later life went on to train as a psychologist. Here she shares her wisdom in a self-help book, with stories of how her, her family and her clients have broken through ‘mental prisons‘ and learnt to better appreciate the gift of life. She ends each chapter with a couple of exercises to help change your thinking.
