Man's Search for Meaning / Ultimate Meaning / The Choice

by Viktor E. Frankl, Edith Eger

Mans Search For Meaning, Ultimate Meaning, The Choice 3 Books Collection Set. Description:- Man's Search For Meaning: The classic tribute to hope from the Holocaust 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. Man's Search for Ultimate Meaning Viktor Frankl is known to millions as the author of Man's Search for Meaning, his harrowing Holocaust memoir. In this book, he goes more deeply into the ways of thinking that enabled him to survive imprisonment in a concentration camp and to find meaning in life in spite of all the odds. Here, he expands upon his groundbreaking ideas and searches for answers about life, death, faith and suffering. Believing that there is much more to our existence than meets the eye, he says: 'No one will be able to make us believe that man is a sublimated animal once we can show that within him there is a repressed angel.' The Choice: A true story of hope In 1944, sixteen-year-old ballerina Edith Eger was sent to Auschwitz. Separated from her parents on arrival, she endures unimaginable experiences, including being made to dance for the infamous Josef Mengele. When the camp is finally liberated, she is pulled from a pile of bodies, barely alive.

About the author

Viktor Emil Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychologist, philosopher, and Holocaust survivor, who founded logotherapy, a school of psychotherapy that describes a search for a life's meaning as the central human motivational force. Logotherapy is part of existential and humanistic psychology theories.
Logotherapy was promoted as the third school of Viennese Psychotherapy, after those established by Sigmund Freud and Alfred Adler.
Frankl published 39 books. The autobiographical Man's Search for Meaning, a best-selling book, is based on his experiences in various Nazi concentration camps.

Reviews

[Christie Bane · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a really, really famous and beloved book that didn’t really do anything for me. The parts about the author’s experience in Auschwitz were horribly fascinating like every firsthand story of Auschwitz is, but I was actually not really interested in logotherapy, or the finding of meaning in life. Maybe because it’s never hard for me to find meaning in life and it seems strange to me that people struggle with it.

The Choice - what an inspiring lady and heartbreaking story! Definitely recommend!

[Bev · Rating 5 out of 5]

Frankl's writing is direct and to the point, not wasting time on terrible stories which tear the heart, but rather, showing the way humanity always has a choice to be humane, even at the cost of life. It is a powerful book and one which gives hope as well as insight into the reasons for the way in which humans can act in inhuman ways.

Good book to feel the experience of concentration camps.

[Lukas Slavik · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book caught my attention in the visitor’s center of a concentration camp. It is hard to believe what suffering can a human being survive. Frank analyses his personal experience from the Logotherapy point of view. It is hard to believe that many found meaning of life under such inhuman conditions and many others (in the western world) struggle finding it despite our very comfortable lives..
