Dr. Erica Miller

Dr. Erica Miller has an indomitable spirit that inspires. A concentration camp survivor, Miller determined that she would not let suffering define her life. Resilient and headstrong from the start, she also decided that she would not settle for others' limitations of what she might be -- she would chart her own course and be her own person. In her 80s she is going strong and has no intention of stopping.

Many quips in this book shine. I highlighted them and found them to be motivating. However, reading this book as a whole felt somewhat disjoined. The best parts felt like a graduation or motivational speech. The weakest parts felt out of order and irrelevant.

I wasn't surprised at the end of the book to find out that the author is a motivational speaker. My guess is that she would be very good at it. I think that that her message probably translates much better in a spoken word format than in a book format.
