Dr. Edith “Edie” Eger (IG: @dr.editheger) is a sought-after clinical psychologist and lecturer. She helps individuals discard their limitations, discover their powers of self-renewal, and achieve things they previously thought were unattainable.

Using her own past as a Holocaust survivor and thriver as a powerful analogy, she inspires people to tap their full potential and shape their very best destinies.

Today we’re chatting about Edie’s latest book, The Gift.

In this episode, we discuss:

Facing discrimination for being a Jew
We are born with joy and learn to hate
Edie recalls being taken to Auschwitz in 1944
Last words of advice from Edie's mother
Letting go of victim mentality
Curiosity helped Edie survive
Live in the present and never give up
Do you play enough?
The spirit never dies
The cherished wound
Relive the experience and revise your life
The positive impact of going back to Auschwitz
When you forgive, you free yourself
Finding hope in hopelessness
Daily life inside a concentration camp
The bond of sisters
The moment of liberation
