This edition is no longer in print. Please check ISBN: 9780807014271 for the most recent edition. Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl's memoir has riveted generations of readers with its descriptions of life in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. Between 1942 and 1945 Frankl labored in four different camps, including Auschwitz, while his parents, brother, and pregnant wife perished. Based on his own experience and the experiences of others he treated later in his practice, Frankl argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory-known as logotherapy, from the Greek word logos ("meaning")-holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.
At the time of Frankl's death in 1997, Man's Search for Meaning had sold more than 10 million copies in twenty-four languages. A 1991 reader survey for the Library of Congress that asked readers to name a "book that made a difference in your life" found Man's Search for Meaning among the ten most influential books in America.

It’s one of those books where you not only read the pages, but really dive into the mind of the author (as expected from a doctor in psychology and neurology). The meaning of life (or the lack of it) is something integral to our existence as humans, so it’s a topic that is universal & definitely not new.Still, Frankl managed to explain his view on the topic in a way that makes one think and reflect in order to find their own “reason” or solution instead of giving out a formulated blueprint. It was also inspiring to see how he handled the darkest times in his life (which was being sent to four concentration camps), and helped me too to see the value in myself while I away stuck in a bad cycle. In the end it depends on how you read, digest and interpret the book, but in my opinion it was a touching journey of what it means to be alive and worthy and I gained a lot out of reading it.
