Recently a very close friend sent me a link to a book he said I should read, the link was a word link and its only 69 pages long.... so easy to read and not that long...
He kept at me to read it.... finally I did .... WOW and double WOW... I have no idea how many books I have read but I guess 12 years of train trips to work for over an hour each way and that I enjoyed a good book and often read at home [pre net] my guess is I have read hundreds of books.
This book is in my top 10.
I have just finished it and I gotta say feel somewhat overwhelmed..... rarely has a written book belted me like this book arguably the best book on what it is to be human I have every read .... just unbelievable...
The book was written in 1948, by Viktor Frankl, he was an inmate of Auschwitz concentration camp during WWII.
He wrote this extraordinary book titled..."""" Man's Search for Meaning"""
The book is not about how bad it was nor how cruel the Germanys were... as he says there are plenty of books like that...
This is a book on what people will do to survive and he explored why some fell apart and others had the strength of mind to fight on.
I am doing this book a great injustice... in his life prior Viktor was a psychiatrist.
The book maybe over 70 years old but still IMO is as meaningful today as it was back then
