Edith Eger: The Choice

Edith Eger is one of the few living Holocaust survivors to remember the horrors of the camps. Today, at 90 years old, Edie is a renowned psychologist and speaker who specializes in treating patients with traumatic stress disorders. She is author of the recently published book, The Choice: Embrace the Possible*.

Key Points

  • It’s not what happens in life, it’s what we do with it.
  • The power we have is to choose to respond, not react.
  • Sometimes seemingly insignificant worries are emblematic of greater pain.
  • If you hate a person, they don’t suffer — you do.
  • There’s nothing wrong with anger, it’s how you channel it.
  • Underneath anger is a lot of pain.

Resources Mentioned

  • The Choice: Embrace the Possible* by Edith Eger
  • Man’s Search for Meaning* by Viktor E. Frankl
