Man's Search For Meaning By Viktor E. Frankl

Man’s Search for Meaning is a difficult book to review, not because of the writing itself, but because of the complexities surrounding the nature of its content. Even the cover carries a quiet weight, a reflection of ongoing suffering experienced by so many who have purchased this book while searching for meaning in their own lives.

It’s very much a one day read and a lifetime of analysis type of book. The writer captures the unimaginable pain of the inmates within the concentration camps in a way that allows you to clearly envision the horrors they faced. At the same time, it reveals an astonishing level of human resilience and the unshakable power of the mind.

This isn’t a book you read once and set aside. It’s one that should be kept close by, particularly in times when strength feels hard to find, because if the writer could discover meaning in such horrific, inhumane conditions, then there’s hope that we, too, can find it in our own daily lives.

It’s an easy read in terms of style, but it hits hard in ways you won’t be able to shake off. And that’s exactly what makes it so important.
