Man's Search for Meaning

Not often am I so taken in by a book like I have been with Victor Frankl's book "Man's Search for Meaning" first published in 1946. Dr. Frankl is a survivor of four concentration camps and relates his experiences and the meaning he discovered in the course of his extreme sufferings in the most dire of conditions.

His observations are so different from the current cultural wisdom, that they stand as a contrast. I could not help, but respect a man who brings so much depth of thought from so deep an experience.

It was refreshing to read.
