ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A lucid analysis of memory and imagination through a true story of self-improvement, but also of trauma, wounds, and healing.

Boris Cyrulnik, an eminent psychiatrist, and psychologist, deeply knowledgeable about the mind, lived through a traumatic childhood. Separated from his parents, who were murdered in concentration camps, he lived as a fugitive, hiding in foster homes and orphanages. Like most survivors returning from the camps, and like most people who have experienced traumatic situations during their childhood, Boris Cyrulnik took refuge in silence after the war.

Save Yourself, Life Awaits You is a book about trauma, wounds, and healing, about the impossibility of telling where no one wants to listen. About the indifference that kills and the bonds that save, about the illusions of memory, about that strange phenomenon called memory, which is not the reconstruction of the past but its representation, and which does not tell the historical truth of the facts but another truth, even more real: that of the person who remembers. Through the telling of his own story, Boris Cyrulnik helps all those who are trying to escape from a past marked by pain.
