Part 2 was written so differently (and in fact was not added until long after the initial publication) that it may as well have been a different book. The switch in tone and topic was jarring, and from my reading could essentially be summed up as "find religion or at least something to do". The postscript ended up being the most palatable section for me.
Frankl wrote the first draft for Part 1 in 9 days. I wish he had taken more time and integrated the information from Part 2 into Part 1 in order to illustrate any cases of logotherapy at work in concentration camps.Â
I don't begrudge the man for sharing his story, and I'm grateful that he found peace before passing, but this particular work did not do for me what it seems to have done for so many others.Â

Such a good book, took me a while to get through it because I was making notes. Definitely a book that came to me at the right time, the ethos of logotherapy really resonated with me. It's given me a new perspective on life.
Only potential issue is that it does get quite technical towards the end, particularly the post script, which I found dragged a bit, but it's all very interesting. The book is full of gems.
10/10
