Jumia Books The Choice: Embrace the Possible by Dr. Edith Eva Eger Foreword by Philip Zimbardo, PhD

The Choice: Embrace the Possible by Dr. Edith Eva Eger is a deeply moving and transformative memoir that blends personal history with psychological insight. As a Holocaust survivor and celebrated clinical psychologist, Dr. Eger offers a rare and profound perspective on trauma, resilience, and the human capacity for healing.

At age sixteen, Edith was sent to Auschwitz. She endured unimaginable horrors, including the loss of her parents and near-death experiences. Yet her story is not just one of survival—it’s one of triumph. After liberation, she rebuilt her life, pursued education, and eventually became a therapist helping others confront their own pain.

In this book, Dr. Eger shares:

Her harrowing experiences during the Holocaust

The emotional aftermath and journey toward healing

Lessons learned from decades of clinical practice

Tools for choosing freedom over victimhood

Reflections on forgiveness, love, and personal growth

With endorsements from Oprah and Lori Gottlieb, and honored with the National Jewish Book Award, The Choice is more than a memoir—it’s a guide to reclaiming your life, no matter your past. Dr. Eger’s message is clear: while we cannot change what happened to us, we can choose how we live now.

This book is ideal for readers of Viktor Frankl, Brené Brown, and anyone seeking courage, clarity, and compassion in the face of adversity. It’s a testament to the power of choice—and the possibility of joy after suffering.
