Yes to Life In Spite of Everything by Viktor E. Frankl

BATB score: 4/10 🤷‍♀️

after surviving the horrendous concentration camp, Viktor Frankl had to relearn how to be happy; proceeding back to his normal life as a psychiatrist / philosopher lecturer but this time covering deeper topics on the Meaning of Life (from a Holocaust survivor POV); this book is his famous 3 lectures

Best to: intensive Viktor Frankl's 2.5 hours monologue; a philosophy university class at its best, you know how the professor is for sure saying something super important but you are not quite sure what he is saying? yah, kinda like reading this book

Best for: read "Man's Search For Meaning" first and foremost to better understand what his life was, what happened to him, and where he is now

Best as: "explain the difference between 'collective guilt' and 'collective liability'" would definitely be assigned as homework

Best quote: “in the past, activism was coupled with optimism, while today activism requires pessimism.“

"Whoever has a 'why' to live can bare almost any 'how'"
