"The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life" by Edith Eger - audiobook review

My friend and former colleague, Jenny, recommended this book to me. Edith Eger survived Auschwitz and escaped from Communist Europe. She qualified as a therapist later in life. This book is part memoir, part case book (detailing the traumas some of her patients have overcome). The most memorable line for me was: "the opposite of depression is expression" - meaning that you have to talk about your thoughts and feelings (or write them down) in order to grow past them. The book is structured by different mental problems and each chapter ends with keys to better mental health. She sounds like an amazing woman and the audiobook narrator, Tovah Feldshuh, plausibly captured her voice - like a cross between Katharine Hepburn in On Golden Pond and Ruth Gordon from Harold and Maud. I wanted to gift this book to encourage certain people to consider talking therapy.
