Catlin was convincedthat the habit of sleeping with their mouths closed contributed to the development of the Native Americans’ fine teeth and beautiful faces. “ An Indian child is not allowed to sleep with its mouth open, from the very first sleep of its existence; the consequence of which is, that while the teeth are forming and making their first appearance, they meet (and constantly feel) each other; and taking their relative, natural, positions, form that beautiful and pleasing regularity which has secured to the American Indians, as a race, perhaps the most manly and beautiful mouths in the world.“ The first years of existence are the most important

This is the work we get to do in the present: to grieve what happened or didn’t happen, to own up to what we did or didn’t do, and to choose our response now.” There is so much I will take away from this book, but the truest and it may seem simple to others, but something I have to remind myself whenever I am going through a trying time, is that all suffering is temporary. Often we can’t see out of the hole we’re in, but there is light…eventually. And the lessons we take from that darkness, how we choose to incorporate them into our lives, will make the difference as we move forward. That is Dr. Eger’s message and one of this book’s many gifts. If man’s unconscious existence for nearly one-third of the hours of his breathing life depends, from one moment to another, upon the air that passes through his nostrils; and his repose during those hours, and his bodily health and enjoyment between them, depend upon the soothed and tempered character of the currents that are passed through his nose to his lungs, how mysteriously intricate in its construction and important in its functions is that feature, and how disastrous may be the omission in education which sanctions a departure from the full and natural use of this wise arrangement!” Fine teeth and beautiful faces In deze opvolger van het prachtige boek ‘De keuze’ gaat psycholoog Edith Eger in op wat volgens haar mentale gevangenissen zijn, hoe deze bijdragen aan het lijden van mensen en reikt ze praktische handvatten, sleutels, aan die nodig zijn om jezelf te bevrijden uit deze gevangenissen. Want volgens haar is kiezen voor hoop hetzelfde als kiezen voor het leven. When you want to sort medical fact from medical fiction, Dr Karan is your man. This is the only book that will have you laughing and learning in equal measure' Dr Julie Smith, bestselling author of Why Has Nobody Told Me This BeforeWe don’t have to like the difficult or painful things that happen to us. But when we stop fighting and resisting, we have more energy and imagination to move forward, instead of nowhere.” Hope isn’t the white paint we use to mask our suffering. It’s an investment in curiosity. A recognition that if we give up now, we’ll never get to see what happens next.” The adage says, “Time heals all wounds.” But I disagree. Time doesn’t heal. It’s what you do with the time.”

Quote from George Catlin’s book Shut Your Mouth and Save your Life “ I have devoted the greaterpart of my life in visiting, and recording the looks of, the various native Races of North andSouth America; and during those researches, observing the healthy condition and physicalperfection of those people, in their primitive state, as contrasted with the deplorable mortality,the numerous diseases and deformities, in civilized communities, I have been led to search for,and able, I believe, to discover, the main causes leading to such different results.“ Breathing is the cardinal difference When Catlin closed his mouth and started to breathe through his nose, his health returned in full force. Based on his experiences, George Catlin wrote the book Shut Your Mouth and SaveYour Lifein 1870.Edith Eger brings her own life experiences as a survivor of Auschwit.z. We get some great tips in this intriguing story. It's full of wisdom and compassion. The book is well written and easy to understand. There's stories from other survivors of various events. Edith has lots life experiences. It teaches us new techniques to change how we are feeling/reacting/behaving. Everybody could learn something from reading this well written book about mental health and self care. Life — even with its inevitable trauma, pain, grief, misery, and death — is a gift. A gift we sabotage when we imprison ourselves in our fears of punishment, failure, and abandonment; in our need for approval; in shame and blame; in superiority and inferiority; in our need for power and control. To celebrate the gift of life is to find the gift in everything that happens, even the parts that are difficult, that we’re not sure we can survive. To celebrate life, period. To live with joy, love, and passion.” Holocaust survivor, Dr. Edith Eger, is one such beautiful person. What she suffered I cannot begin to fathom, but she chose to make her life a testament to what we can overcome, the lessons she shares in this book are innumerable going far beyond the 12 mental prisons she shares. As long as you're avoiding your feelings, you're denying reality. Invite the feeling in, sit down with it, keep it company. And then decide how long you're going to hold onto it."
