Man's Search for Meaning: An Introduction to Logotherapy by Viktor E. Frankl

challenging dark emotional informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

4.5

I expected the entire book to be more like the second half (focused on logotherapy with personal stories from Auschwitz). However the first half is about the psychology of what an Auschwitz prisoner goes through and is focused on his personal experiences. Incredibly important content, but just a warning if you were expecting more focus on logotherapy as a discipline throughout. 

Overall an incredibly impactful read that serves as both a reminder of how humans are capable of dehumanizing others and how to view the unexpected hardships of life to still find meaning
