The Gift by Edith Eva Eger is another self-help book that could have been half the size.

Would highly recommend you read the classics from people like Socrates and Plato.

Skip this one.

This book was what I was hoping to get from the author’s first book. Clearly organized and presented self-help.

This book interweaves the author's backstory, as a former prisoner at Auschwitz, with her current life as a therapist and how she was able to rise above the horrors of her past situation. She encourages the reader to not live in denia,l and that letting out our anger (in private ways) is what we need to move forward in life, at times. I found this book to be both encouraging, yet also a "kick in the pants" towards doing what we need to move forward in our lives.
