Genre: Memoir, Psychology, Philosophy

Description:
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is a powerful memoir and psychological exploration of life in Nazi concentration camps, and how the pursuit of purpose enabled survival amidst unimaginable suffering. As a psychiatrist and Holocaust survivor, Frankl shares his personal account of enduring Auschwitz and other camps, emphasizing that even in the darkest moments, life has meaning. Drawing from his experiences and his development of logotherapy, Frankl argues that finding meaning through love, work, or suffering itself is the key to mental and emotional resilience. The book is divided into two parts: a haunting narrative of life in the camps and a psychological framework for discovering purpose. Inspiring, sobering, and deeply philosophical, Man’s Search for Meaning continues to influence thinkers, therapists, and readers worldwide. It is a timeless reminder that while we cannot avoid suffering, we can choose how to respond and through that choice, we define our humanity.
