  Read More
  Dr. Eger discussed her powerful, moving memoir and practical guide to healing in which she details how the synergy of working with and learning from her patients’ perspectives has enriched her life experiences. She has always found ways to use her personal experiences to inspire, educate and help others; through her clinical practice in La Jolla, she uses her past as a powerful analogy to inspire people to reach their potential and shape their destinies.

   

  One of the few living Holocaust survivors to remember the horrors of the camps, Edie has chosen to forgive her captors and find joy in her life every day. The Choice weaves her personal story with case studies from her work as a psychologist. Her patients and their stories illustrate different phases of healing and show how people can choose to escape the prisons they construct in their minds and find freedom, regardless of circumstance. Edie’s story is an inspiration for everyone.
