Man’s Search For Meaning, by Viktor E. Frankl

The deep dive of life behind the walls of survival being a prisoner amongst Auschwitz and other Nazi Concentration Camps.

An educated neurologist and psychiatrist himself, Frankl tells the story of horrific things he saw day to day, how he observed fellow inmates endure seemingly obscure obstacles.

An insight on to how even in the worst of situations, folk learn and endure to strive to “move forward”, even when everything felt at loss.

Theorised as people who find meaning through suffering, can cope and deal with the horrifying life situation they may find themselves in.

Second part of the book being set about “Logotherapy”, in which Frankl coined himself.

Simply put;

“A therapeutic approach that helps people find personal meaning in life. It's a form of psychotherapy that is focused on the future and on our ability to endure hardship and suffering through a search for purpose”.

Man’s Search For Meaning is a short, yet captivating, real stories that will send chills throughout your body and I would recommend this read to anyone.
