I feel little, and you fluctuate from helplessness to grandiosity.
What can a Holocaust survivor teach us about resilience and inner strength? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sits down with Dr. Edith Eger, a remarkable woman who not only survived Auschwitz but went on to earn a PhD and become a renowned clinical psychologist and author. Dr. Eger's story is one of profound transformation and unyielding hope.
She discusses her book, *The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life*, offering a treasure trove of wisdom on mindfulness, self-compassion, and letting go of external validation. Dr. Eger shares her personal journey through the horrors of the Holocaust and how she discovered an unshakeable inner strength amidst unimaginable adversity. Her insights are not just about surviving but thriving. She talks about the 'prison of victimhood' and how changing our perspective can unlock doors to a more fulfilling life.
Her emphasis on self-worth and positive thinking provides practical advice for anyone facing their own struggles. Listeners will find Dr. Eger's approach to mindfulness particularly compelling. By paying close attention to our thoughts and being intentional about our actions, she believes we can cultivate behaviors that lead to lasting happiness.
