Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

For some people finding a purpose or a meaning in life may be difficult. Some people may not have any job or anyone to love, but just suffering. How to find meaning in life even in suffering is the message from this book. This is must read by one and all to understand how the prisoners suffered in the concentration camp with no hope of liberation, yet was looking forward for it with lots of hope. This book is written by a Neurologist and Psychiatrist doctor who underwent innumerable hardships in the concentration camps and when liberated published this manuscript. Divided into two parts this book explains the horrifying experiences inside the concentration camp that the author encountered in the first part; the second part is about Logotherapy, the therapy that the doctor applied for his patients to find a meaning in life despite their suffering. The second part also illustrates a few patients’ stories which offer a better understanding of how to find a meaning.

This book cannot to be missed by any book lovers; highly recommended in this uncertain stressful world.
