Never a book has had me feel such a rollercoaster of emotions when reading, from joy to crying without even noticing... it was like i was one Dr Edith pacients while reading... Thank you for helping me without me even knowing...

A harrowing memoir for the first half with the second half being clinical examples of her work with patients as a psychologist. This part dragged on a bit for me, but still learned a lot and appreciate her insight into other people’s problems.

An emotional yet heart-warming read which tells a story of survival and recovery in an inspiring way.

A powerful book that didn't come off as either trauma-porn or as preachy self-help. Dr. Eger's honesty and clarity in recounting her long journey is just a part of her legacy, but it is one that is easy to share and revisit, and that I think will do a lot of good for anyone who reads it.

And this is why I love memoirs. Such a tremendously profound, deeply touching, frightening, infuriating, beautiful book! At times I had to stop as it was so hard to take in the brutal reality of Auschwitz… nonetheless, a powerful book about hope — and who are we to learn more about it from if not people who went through hell? Edith definitely knows a whole lot about finding happiness, as Dubmbledore said, “even in the darkest of times”. Highly recommended!
