Upon returning from his last voyagein 1860, at the age of 64, Catlin wrote “If I were to endeavor to bequeath to posterity the most important motto which human language can convey, it should be in three words— Shut your Mouth Nemôžem nič len odporúčať. Prosím prečítajte si ju. Všetci. Povinne. Sľubujem, že vám dá omnoho viac ako vám vezme :) At the end of each chapter Dr. Eger presents a helpful summary combined with concrete action steps, like "spend a day listening to your self-talk", or "visualize a person with whom you're experiencing conflict, and then envision this person's highest self." It almost makes you feel like she's right there in the room with you prodding you with advice on how to get moving and put this book into action in your life. So much of this book resonated with me! Although I have a very different story to Dr Eger's, I also recognised that I had a choice in how I respond to what was done to me and how I want to live my life.

Even a Nazi can be a messenger of God. This boy was my best teacher, guiding me to the choice I always have to replace judgement with compassion - to recognise our shared humanity and practice love" The hilarious, myth-busting survival guide to the human body from TikTok's favourite General Surgeon.De mentale gevangenissen die zij behandelt zijn de gevangenissen van de slachtofferrol, vermijding, verwaarlozing, geheimen, schuld en schaamte, onverwerkt verdriet, starheid, wrok, verlammende angst, veroordelen, hopeloosheid en het niet-vergeven.

We don’t get to choose what happens to us, but we do get to choose how we respond to our experience.” When you turn the other cheek, you look at the same thing from a new perspective. You can’t change the situation, you can’t change someone else’s mind, but you can look at reality differently. You can accept and integrate multiple points of view. This flexibility” This practical and inspirational guide to healing from the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of The Choice shows us how to stop destructive patterns and imprisoning thoughts to find freedom and enjoy life. Catlin was fascinated by the Indians and their looks and culture. Within just a few days, he decided to make it his life mission to paint and document the Indians and their culture and history. What Catlin has left behind is nothing less than a unique insight into how the Native Americans lived. His testimony also carries with it the fundamental key to what truehealth is based upon. The Savage Mother, instead of embracing her infant in her sleeping hours, in the heated exhalation of her body, places it at her arm’s length from her, and compels it to breathe the fresh air, the coldness of which generally prompts it to shut the mouth, in default of which, she presses its lips together in the manner that has been stated, until she fixes the habit which is to last it through life; and the contrast to this, which is too often practiced by mothers in the Civilized world, in the mistaken belief that warmth is the essential thing for their darling babes, I believe to be the innocent foundation of the principal, and as yet unexplained, cause of the deadly diseases so frightfully swelling the Bills of Mortality in Civilized communities.“ Heredity versus environment

Don’t cover garlic with chocolate. It’s tempting to confuse hope with idealism, but idealism is just another form of denial, a way of evading a true confrontation with suffering. Resiliency and freedom don’t come from pretending away our pain. Listen to the way you talk about a hard or hurtful situation. It’s okay. It’s not that bad. Others have it so much worse. I don’t have anything to complain about. Everything will work out in the end. No pain, no glory! The next time you hear yourself using the language of minimization, delusion, or denial, try replacing the words with: ‘It hurts. And it’s temporary.’ Remind yourself, ‘I’ve survived pain before.’�� This is not hippy, dippy self-help, it is a practical guide with exercises and myriad examples from her life and that of others to help us lead more purposeful lives, focusing not on pain and trauma, but what we can learn from it. Honey, may you also choose to give up the prison and do the work to be free. To find in your suffering your own life lessons. To choose which legacy the world inherits. To hand down the pain—or to pass on the gift.”
