I stopped to look at the challenges in my life as stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks. Excellent read from an incredible individual.

Two thumbs up! Will recommend to everyone that I know. Definitely worth your time to read through. Very valuable. I will buy this book in hardback or paperback so that i can keep it, write notes in it, and pick up when I need a little nudge.

.Understanding made easy

This book is a summary of the book" Mans Search for the Meaning . Using fewer words and the reason Mr Franklin comes to the conclusions he did.
Now I can go back and finish the original book with better Understanding.

Informative

I feel I go the most of the book. I may buy the original to read the last section on logotherapy a little deeper.
