Thank you so much to NetGalley and Rider, an imprint of Ebury Press, Penguin Random House UK, for the opportunity to read this book. Nedá mi nepochváliť aj autorov štýl písania. Bolo to pútavé a zrozumiteľné. Uznávam, že veľakrát nešiel úplne do hĺbky, ale vždy sa čo najlepšie snažil opísať všetky procesy, ktoré s danou problematikou súviseli tak, aby to čitateľa neunudilo a zároveň tomu pochopil. A pre hotentotov (ako som napríklad aj ja) nechýbalo na konci kapitoly vždy jedno-dvojvetové zhrnutie. I suspect that Dr. Eger's book is one that needs re-reading when that still small voice whispers to me, "What does Dr. Eger have to say about that?" An important clueto Catlin’s great health discovery can be found in his own personal life. Catlin’s wife and one of his children died ofpneumonia. In pneumonia, breathing is likely to be shallow, rapid, and in and out through the mouth. Shallow breathing prevents the air from reachingthe bottom of the lungs. This creates a fertileenvironment for bacterial growth and the result could be pneumonia. Catlin himself had suffered the consequences of this, having since childhood developed the habit of breathing throughhis mouth. Dr Rajan has been featured on BBC Morning Live, Good Morning Britain, BBC News, Sky News and national radio, with coverage in the Guardian, Independent, Washington Post, New York Post, Metro, Sun, LADBible and the Daily Mail as well as several other international online news outlets . A former weekly health columnist for Mail+, Dr Rajan was also a co-presenter on BBC Two's six-part series Your Body Uncovered. Over the past few years as well as being a regular advocate of health promotion on behalf of the NHS & the U.K. government he has also worked closely with the UN, the WHO & the British Red Cross in an ambassadorial capacity.

The adage says, “Time heals all wounds.” But I disagree. Time doesn’t heal. It’s what you do with the time.” It’s better to risk and grow, and maybe fail, than to remain imprisoned, never knowing what could have been.” Quote from George Catlin’s book Shut Your Mouth and Save your Life “ I have devoted the greaterpart of my life in visiting, and recording the looks of, the various native Races of North andSouth America; and during those researches, observing the healthy condition and physicalperfection of those people, in their primitive state, as contrasted with the deplorable mortality,the numerous diseases and deformities, in civilized communities, I have been led to search for,and able, I believe, to discover, the main causes leading to such different results.“ Breathing is the cardinal difference Eger explains that the worst prison she experienced is not the prison that Nazis put her in but the one she created for herself, the prison within her own mind. She describes the twelve most pervasive imprisoning beliefs she has known—including fear, grief, anger, secrets, stress, guilt, shame, and avoidance—and the tools she has discovered to deal with these universal challenges. Accompanied by stories from Eger’s own life and the lives of her patients each chapter includes thought-provoking questions and takeaways, such as: Even a Nazi can be a messenger of God. This boy was my best teacher, guiding me to the choice I always have to replace judgement with compassion - to recognise our shared humanity and practice love"You don’t have to figure it out in a hurry. In fact, it’s best to stop figuring and figuring and trying to understand. It’s an answer that will come only by playing more, by living your life as fully as possible, and being who you already are: a person of strength.” We cast others in the roles that help us enact the story we’ve decided to tell. When we tell a new story—when we come home to our wholeness—our relationships might improve. Or we might find that we don’t need them anymore, that they don’t have a place in the story of freedom. To free yourself from the prison, pay attention to your language. Listen for the I can’t, the I’m trying, the I need to, and then see if you can replace these imprisoning phrases with something else: I can, I want, I’m willing, I choose. This is the language that empowers us to change.” In deze opvolger van het prachtige boek ‘De keuze’ gaat psycholoog Edith Eger in op wat volgens haar mentale gevangenissen zijn, hoe deze bijdragen aan het lijden van mensen en reikt ze praktische handvatten, sleutels, aan die nodig zijn om jezelf te bevrijden uit deze gevangenissen. Want volgens haar is kiezen voor hoop hetzelfde als kiezen voor het leven.

You could have died, too, somehow. Perhaps there’ve been times when you’ve wanted to. But you didn’t. Hope is the conviction that you survived all that you survived so that you can be a good role model. An ambassador for freedom. A person who focuses not on what you’ve lost, but on what’s still here for you, on the work you’re called to do.”

Pre-order:

Life—even with its inevitable trauma, pain, grief, misery, and death—is a gift. A gift we sabotage when we imprison ourselves in our fears of punishment, failure, and abandonment; in our need for approval; in shame and blame; in superiority and inferiority; in our need for power and control. To celebrate the gift of life is to find the gift in everything that happens, even the parts that are difficult, that we’re not sure we can survive. To celebrate life, period. To live with joy, love, and passion.”

This is the work we get to do in the present: to grieve what happened or didn’t happen, to own up to what we did or didn’t do, and to choose our response now.” Esa frase me hizo mucho sentido mientras estoy en terapia y con medicamentos, especialmente porque mi depresión está muy ligada a no ser yo misma, a no atreverme a expresar y soltar. I’m very selective about who’s going to get my anger, because when I’m angry, I’m the one who suffers.” Nesen latviešu valodā izdota Edītes Egeres grāmata «IZVĒLE» (Zvaigzne ABC), šī grāmata «DĀVANA» ir uzrakstīta pēc tās, kā brīnišķīgs un jēgpilns papildinājums, ar daudziem skaidrojumiem emocijām un atbildēm uz jautājumiem, kuri palika un radās pēc IZVĒLES izlasīšanas.Catlin was fascinated by the Indians and their looks and culture. Within just a few days, he decided to make it his life mission to paint and document the Indians and their culture and history. What Catlin has left behind is nothing less than a unique insight into how the Native Americans lived. His testimony also carries with it the fundamental key to what truehealth is based upon.

De mentale gevangenissen die zij behandelt zijn de gevangenissen van de slachtofferrol, vermijding, verwaarlozing, geheimen, schuld en schaamte, onverwerkt verdriet, starheid, wrok, verlammende angst, veroordelen, hopeloosheid en het niet-vergeven. Deze thema’s legt zij uit, ondersteunt zij met voorbeelden uit haar eigen praktijk en met anekdotes uit haar eigen leven, en ze sluit elk hoofdstuk af met praktische sleutels, aanwijzingen om ergens op een andere manier tegenaan te kijken, kleine dingen die je voor jezelf kunt veranderen, inzichten.A true gift for the soul! A most read for everyone! A life-changer practical guide that reminds us that each and everyone of us has the choice of seeing the gift in everything and every situation! there’s much I’ve gained and lost and almost lost. All of it has taught me how much I have, and how to celebrate each precious moment, without waiting for someone else’s permission or approval. I am reminded again and again: to choose hope is to choose life. Hope does not guarantee anything about what will happen in the future... But choosing hope affects what gets my attention every day."
