Man’s Search for Meaning

Viktor E. Frankl

Cover of Man’s Search for Meaning
Read
It was a very good experience to read this book. It uplifted my understanding and made me aware of the extremes that a human can survive, as many survived, in the concentration camps. It pushed me in deep thought about the extremely harsh conditions in which these people lived in the concentration camps - there identify reduced to just a number and life meant just to perish. But for them who survived, life had a different meaning, as discussed in the second part of the book - logotherapy. This was a different kind of psychotherapy when introduced which compelled the patient to find the meaning to live for. It explains beautifully what the meaning, in life, is, as the title of the book suggests. It was a thought provoking and insightful text, one should surely read this small book.

It was a great experience. It left me completely empty at the end of the read. I was just staring the room, the tiny details which I never noticed. The river of thought had frozen, almost like it disappeared. It was really wonderful, it gave me new perspectives, thoughts and ideas, increased my respect towards literature and demonstrated me the power of creative writing. Now I understood what reading one of the greatest works of literature feels like.
