Just finished The Choice by Dr Edith Eger, Holocaust survivor and currently a psychologist. Her amazing approach to life has really turned around my 2020 thinking. It's the most uplifting book I've read all year.

If you haven't read it, highly recommend. If you have, would love to hear your take.

Oh, I forgot to say that I bought the book because it was on Bill Gates's reading list. He has a review of it if you prefer to read that. 😄

That’s also on my list! Saw it from Gates’ reading list.
