The author Viktor E. Frankl’s personal experience was what drew me to this book.
As a Holocaust survivor, the author recalled his experience in Nazi death camps and the reflection for spiritual survival. He argues that having something meaningful to live for can help a person endure even the most difficult circumstances. He introduced his psychological domain, logotherapy (logos = meaning), which asserts that suffering is an inevitable part of life, and the search for meaning is one of the fundamental motivation to push through and move forward.
I used to be rather oblivious about history, but my partner has kindly guided me through this difficult read by also explaining the historical context of it. If you consider reading this book, I suggest to have preliminary understanding on the world wars too.
Truly touching one.
