Book Reviews of Man's Search for Meaning
Book Review: This book tops my all-time favorite list
Summary: 5 Stars
"Man's Search For Meaning" is probably the most inspiring book I've ever read, and I've actually re-read it at least five times since first purchasing it a few years ago. If you ever wondered how to find a meaningful life, then this is the book for you. It's important to read the first part which details how Dr. Frankel was able to find meaning in the most difficult of all circumstances, as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp.
However, the real impact is the modern day applications of his theory of Logotherapy, and he brilliantly outlines how his timeless principles are applicable even in 2010! Every time I read the book I find a different way of interpreting his philosophy to a current life situation, and I can highly recommend this book to everyone.
Book Review: A Most Inspirational Story of Survival
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book regularly for inspiration. Frankl found a way to confront the greatest evil of the last century, which for him was very personal, and survive. In the midst of it he discovered that we most long for meaning in our lives, and so he developed a therapy that helps people search for it.
The beginning part of the book about life in the camps simply cannot be forgotten. And then, when he tries to make sense of it, ordinary readers realize that whatever they have suffered there is a way forward. Frankl used tragedy to help others. A person can't be more noble than that.

Book Review: Man's Search For Meaning
Summary: 5 Stars
This book fell into my hands at the perfect time of my life, a time of discouragement and disarray. Reading Frankl's book really inspired me to change my life and take a whole new perspective on every step I take. I was a little skeptical before reading it, thinking that it would be just another Holocaust memoir; but, in fact, it was quite the opposite. Although it gives a good perspective of the suffering that occurred, his main focus was how he took the suffering and learned from it rather than let it take him down. It's an awe-inspiring book. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone, both in stages of rock bottom and their prime, it doesn't matter; there's something in it for everyone to learn.Book Review: Inspirational and Disturbing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a classic in its own right. Being a Holocaust survivor, Frankl's emotional account of the situation he found himself in, while a captive in the Nazi concentration camps in the Second World War, is both disturbing and inspiring. Frankl's story is one of hope and meaning.
