Product Information
Now reissued by Rider, one of the seminal pieces of literature to emerge from the Second World War, a moving account of Viktor Frankl's experiences in Auschwitz and what he learned from them A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.Product Identifiers

Needs quiet to read, and sometimes you need to read some sections twice - which is well worth while.
A fascinating and compelling book. A real look behind the immediately obvious horror. I could not put it down, as it is what I would call truly readable. The author tells all - good as well as bad - whereas so often in Holocaust books you only get the bad side, which in this book you still see,Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Vital reading for anyone suffering or suicidal
This is vital reading for anyone suffering or suicidal. You are led through Viktor Frankl's brave and stark account of life amidst the brutality and cruelty of concentration camps, to see that even there, in the worst of places, human beings are hardwired to find meaning. In fact, you see that those who did, and who found the deepest inner strength, sometimes survived even when their physical bodies were challenged by disease and starvation. This is a man, a psychiatrist, truly fit to speak about how to find meaning and hope in life. He has been to hell and back. This is no textbook, ivory tower author. He leads us out of the concentration camps to see how meaning can be found in even the most painful and seemingly hopeless situations. No situation is beyond the ability to see a meaning in it. You see that it is ok to be suffering. That is not to glorify suffering, but you can see how any suffering becomes bearable if you are led to see a meaning in it. Please, please read this book if you are suffering in any way or have lost hope and/or contemplate suicide. It will help you see that even if you feel desperate, you can go on, that there is a meaning. The help and insights of this book are invaluable. A must, must read.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very Different Outlook on Life
There’s a great story behind the large words and the many turns this book takes. It’s not just a man who’s experienced concentration camps, it’s a man who knows there’s always a meaning to everything including suffering and unhappiness as well as the positives in life. Great read for anyone looking to find something that might be missing from their lifeVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

If you are thinking that you don't have enoung or you are poor, this is must read!!!
Such a strong life experience and eye openning story that changes view on our lives. I couldn't put this book away and I believe that human mind is capable of more than we can think of, or we can imagine. Frankl's strong mindset and his knowledge has ability to turn your current thinking upside down. If he was able to go through this hell on the Earth, so we can! Never give up! Until the mind is sharp, we can bear unbereable.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
