Notes to Nono 2: You always have a choice! with Dr. Edith Eger

Messy and Masterful

I don’t think I ever had the pleasure of meeting anyone as impressive as Dr. Edith Eger. I consciously use the word ‘impressive’ here as I am very certain you will never forget her once you have met her. Nor will you ever forget the books she has written, ‘The Choice’ and ‘The Gift’. Dr. Eger is a 94 year old Psychologist who after surviving the horrific atrocities of Auschwitz and not long after fleeing her home country just before the Russians take over power, lands in the United States with not a penny to her name. If you have not yet done so, please listen to Episode 18 of this Podcast where I had the tremendous honour or speaking to her and please, please read her book ‘The Choice’ - it will change you forever - I guarantee it. The energy, strength and undying optimism of this 95 year old titan is contagious and her advice that we always (always) have a choice is one we should all immerse ourselves in. As I said in the interview, the world is a better place because we have people like Dr. Edith Eger in it. It is my choice to listen to her and learn from her and I hope it will be yours as well. Without further ado, please enjoy these Notes to Nono from Dr. Edith Eger.
