Welcome to Litsy!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 Amazing read. Everyone should read this book in their lives at least once.

The first part of this book is backstory about how the author experienced and survived the Nazi death camps. The second part is about logotherapy, the idea of moving forward in life and having the mindset to do so in spite of the suffering one experienced previously. What an incredible, inspiring story! Even the technical bits at the end were even reasonably easy to follow. #audiobook

I find this passage to be quite beautiful.

4.5 Stars • "Man's Search for Meaning" by Viktor E. Frankl is a profound exploration of the human condition, inspired by Frankl's experiences in Nazi concentration camps. The book delves into the importance of finding meaning in life, even in the most dire circumstances. Frankl introduces his theory of logotherapy, which posits that the primary motivation for human beings is the search for meaning in life. ⬇️

I also read this in high schoolThere is a lot of dark and triggering Holocaust history here, but it is still powerful and worth reading. Viktor describes his suffering and how it affected his psychology theories. One pf my favorite quotes was “One may only demand heroism from one person and that is one self.” He preaches that one powerful meaning in life is through love. He writes about his logotherapy and how it has affected his patients.

I found this book of philosophy interesting. The story of the authors survival of the concentration camp was compelling and gave his theory of life much more weight. I am glad that I read this book.

A book I‘ve wanted to read for a long time and I‘m glad it came up for me at this time as I‘m not sure I would have fully appreciated it had I read it when I was younger. Very well written, concise but powerful. A classic for good reason. It will stick with me. #nonfiction2023 - I Still Haven‘t Found What I‘m Looking For

I‘ve needed this reminder over the first 10 months of 2023!!!
