Kombinasi Man's Searching For Meaning  & Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. Heartbreaking. Inspiring. Powerful.

"You can't change what happened, you can't change what you did or what was done to you. But you can change how you live now."

This is Holocaust book. Memoir ini membahas bagaimana Edith Eger berhadapan dan mengatasi trauma menjadi tawanan kamp konsentrasi. Cara dia bertahan. Cara dia berusaha tetap hidup. Bagaimana perang memang benar-benar bisa merubah perilaku/tingkah laku seseorang. Dalam buku ini juga membahas perjalan penulis menjadi seorang psikolog yang menghadapi pasien-pasien dari trauma, ntah itu karena perang, keluarga, pasangan, atau pelecehan. 

The Choice terbagi jadi empat bagian, Penjara, Kabur, Kebebasan, dan Penyembuhan. Dua bagian awal itu adalah kehidupan dia selama jadi korban perang, dan dua bagian akhir kehidupan dia setelah perang dan menjadi psikolog. 

Selama baca buku ini, banyak banget pesan tentang kehidupan, memaafkan, live changing, dan freedom. Benar-benar enlightenment dan menginspirasi. Part yang aku suka dari buku ini tuh sesi percakapan antara Edith Eger dan pasien-pasiennya. 

Without hesitation this one is the second book about psychology that I love the most after Maybe You Should Talk to Someone (Semua Orang Butuh Curhat). 

Well, kalian semua harus baca buku ini. Aku gatau ada terjemahannya atau nggak, but if you can read engbook I highly recommend this one to put as your next read! 

Oh iya, jangan lupa liat trigger warning, soalnya banyak banget.

I chose this book as I was interested in learning more about people's experiences in concentration camps and in moments of deep distress. The cover of the edition I read had "Even in hell hope can flower". When I chose it I like I had lost hope so to read about the perspective of an individual who went through so much horror and heartbreak and still had hope was inviting. I loved this book, I highlighted so much of it. Edith did not have an easy life but she learnt so much through her experiences and is now sharing them so others can learn and heal through their own. I didn't realise this was just the book I needed.
