Man's Search for Meaning riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. In the decades since its first publication, it has become one of the most influential books in America; it continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living.
"A meditation on the irreducible gift of one's own counsel in the face of great suffering, as well as a reminder of the responsibility each of us owes in valuing the community of our humanity. There are few wiser, kinder, or more comforting challenges than Frankl's.' --Patricia J. Williams, author of Seeing a Color-Bind Future: The Paradox of Race
"An extraordinary treatise on resilience and spiritual salvation." --Lori Gottlieb, in her book Maybe You Should Talk To Someone
"A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive." --John Boyne, author of The Boy In The Striped Pajamas
"One of the great books of our time." --Harold S. Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen To Good People
Another great book to read . . .
In practical sense, Frankl is saying in this book that our human existence has meaning regardless of circumstances in our lives, that is, even the ugliest moment in our lives has meaning based on how we deal with it. Self-transcendence is the very essence of the content of this narrative based on his personal experiences as a victim of the Holocaust in the concentration camps.
