Man's Search for Meaning

He was a concentration camp survivor; he is a psychologist/doctor. He found people in that setting that still had purpose ...He learned that "the last of human freedoms was ... the ability to choose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances." In his after-concentration-camp-counseling, he would asked patients why they did not kill themselves ... by their anwsers, he was able to determine their purpose and in many cases, help them to help themselves. Small book; tremendous message.

Not a book I would normally read, but very glad I did.

Some of the best books I have ever read, were usually recommended to me either by a friend or teacher.

Man's search for meaning is truly an inspirational book for those who do not have a religion or purpose to their life. It shows that a human being can withstand almost anything as long as they feel they have a purpose.

I would recommend this book to teenagers as well as those in college. I may also recommend this book to agnostics and atheists, it might give meaning to their lives.

interesting read

this was a required text for one of my classes, but i'm glad i read it. it's heavy in the beginning but still a pretty easy read, and it definitely could have been more graphic. frankl is able to get his point across without the gore (much of it, anyway). it's still hard for me to swallow his unending optimism given what he went through, but i hope to read this again in a few years and have less of a struggle. great book, though. highly recommended for psychology students, existential therapists, or just anyone looking for a way to lift themselves up.

Kept my interest

an easy read--i was shocked because I bought the book because my doctor told me he loved it....I found the part about the holocaust to be much more interesting then the second half of the book...

The 1st Half is a Must Read

While I am not versed in any level of psychology, I truly believe that every human being on this planet should read the first half of this book. It is awe inspiring, horrifying and make you want to go and hug your children.
