Man’s Search For Meaning
I’m really getting through books fast at the moment and I’ve just finished another brilliant one - Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl.
This book is split into two distinct sections. The first is a very touching, inspiring account of the authors time in concentration camps during WW2. I found his analysis of the different psychological stages they went through really fascinating and the modest prose in which he spoke about his experience was humbling.
The second section is a summary of his philosophy of Logotherapy. Although this raised a number of insightful points, towards the end I realised that as I only have a passing interest in real psychology this section was largely wasted on me. Still, it’s not too hardcore and there’s plenty to take away from it.
So if you’re looking for meaning in your life, give it a read!
