What a phenomenal message! If she can find the gift in a concentration camp, we should all seek to look for the gifts in our own lives on a daily basis!
Alice Herz Sommer, YOU ARE EXTRAORDINARY! I LOVE YOU TO THE CORE & am so grateful to a beautiful stranger who sent me this link. I have been a professional pianist since I was 10. I now entertain @ senior centers all over, & I teach piano as well!!!! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the beautiful woman you have chosen to become & what I have been given by connecting w/you through this richly-fulfilling clip w/Tony Robbins. I've met him & respect him & his work immensely, too! May God continue to bless you!!
Wonderful. It's all about where your focus is. Self-mastery is about knowing your heart and channeling that awareness into something that can impact the world. She is a gift.
What is the sense of hating at 108? I don't believe you can get to 108 if you hate people who have harmed you. I think of Nelson Mandela in this connection, too. The hate might be justified but it will still not be healthy. She saved lives and spirits, most assuredly her son's. Had she been pessimistic or even realistic, she might not have believed he or any of the others would ever leave the camp alive. Because she did, she had to smile every day; she had to play every day.
I am sorry... but someone who had a very stressfree live...went through less than a decade of horror... then went back to a normal life till she is now 108?
Though I am sure her story is a incredible as many.... this is not a stressful life!!!
I could get you real people, who lived through decades of suffering....and still love and aid others unconditionally!!!! but. They didn't write books about it!!! don't have time... nor do they have any notoriety at all... :P
@RGTMagazineTv This dismissal of someones suffering and their desire to offer hope and strength to others is extremely unattractive at the very least, and small minded at the worst.
@RGTMagazineTv What a perfect example of the opposite of Alice Sommer's optimism- she can see the good in life in a concentration camp and someone can actually say something negative about that...
'I know about the bad, but I look at the good.' Thank you Tony Robbins for bringing us this AH-MAZING interview. Everything is a present, and Alice's ability to choose that lens from which to view her world was her gift. 'The Secret of Happiness is Freedom, and the Secret of Freedom is Courage. ~Thucydides' What a way to start the day! Blessings, Ande Lyons
Sommer seems in denial about the horror. This is an insult to those who had a more brutal fate than playing in the exhibition band, or who felt pain and felt sadness and had trouble laughing while watching their loved ones be tortured and killed.
Tony Robbins should focus his positive thinking theory on the kind of problems he actually understands. More profound people like Eli Wiesel and Primo Levi and Viktor Frankel have done a better job at finding humanity in the midst of this horror.
Alice's husband was taken to Auschwitz and then he died in Dachau. She has experienced more loss than any of us can imagine! I had the pleasure to meet her a couple of years ago and my impression of her is that she sees no value in being a victim of her past and reliving it all. she is a true survivor and I think what Tony Robbins was trying to tell us is that there is a choice in how we see life! and maybe being positive is what got her here- I'm willing to try that!

With her mindset and lifestyle, it's easy to see why she has lived to be 108.
