This is an automatically translated description

Edith Egger wrote this book at the request of readers of her bestselling book The Choice, and it is a practical guide to taking care of your mental health - how to live a full life and not get stuck in the prison of your own mind. It's a kind of 14 sessions from a prominent psychotherapist who explains how to perceive your emotions, how to get rid of the victim complex, heal from childhood trauma, experience loss and grief, how to get out of conflict situations or avoid them, how to accept and love yourself, how to get rid of guilt, how to learn to control your fears and cope with anxiety.

In each chapter, Dr Yeager shares stories from her own life and those of her patients, and at the end offers keys to getting rid of the problem. These are attitudes, exercises, or questions that will help us find our way out of our mental prisons to freedom and enjoy life.

During the coronavirus pandemic, the author wrote two additional chapters to support people and help them cope with this challenge. She advises on how to maintain your mental health during a lockdown, how to adapt to life in isolation and not be afraid to be alone. She also shares her signature recipes for her favourite dishes.
