Man's Search For Meaning by Victor E. Frankl

BATB score: 9.2/10

“One who has a WHY to live for can bear almost any HOW.”

A psychologist explains what went through his mind as a dying Jewish prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. Human survival instinct, adaptation to hunger/pain, the concept of and the lack of hope. Deepdive down to when the Jewish prisoners were finally freed, they ran out to celebrate their freedom for a few hours, and by sundown, came back to sleep in the old camp grounds.

Psychotherapeutic story-telling on how your soul numbs itself to survive.

Best for: Psychotherapeutic Nazis and Jews.

just read the first part of the book on his memoir. the second part on logotherapy is a little bit dense.
