Please Note That The Following Individual Books As Per Original ISBN and Cover Image In this Listing shall be Dispatched Viktor E Frankl Collection 2 Books Man's Search For 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 concentration camp prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Man's Search for Ultimate 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 '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.'

[Bijal Agarwal · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you have to read just 1 book then this is it. Out of the 2 books I have read man’s search for meaning. It is a phenomenal read. It moves you. It makes you wonder about humans. It makes you think hard. It hurts. But at the same time it is such an uplifting book about life itself. It is inspiring. After reading this book I will never be the same person again.

Viktor E. Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning is a story about the Nazi holocaust. Frankl – a neurologist and psychoanalyst was interned by the SS with millions of other Jews. His accounts showed how he was able to survive under such horrendous circumstances. In 1942 the American consulate in Vienna had okayed a U.S, immigration visa, but he decided to let it lapse. Frankl and his family were later arrested and deported. He therefore spent three years in concentration camps – Theresienstadt, Auschwitz-Birkenau, Kaufering, and Türkheim, part of the Dachau complex.
Frankl described the horrors in these camps. He showed how scantily the prisoners were dressed that worked in the snow, the little food they ate, the cruelty of the SS guards, and the techniques he used to survive. During this time, he witnessed many of the weaker prisoners whipped, shipped off to the gas chambers, and he willed himself to be strong although limping. It was in such a camp he received news that his wife and family were killed.
Frankl who had his manuscript on logotheraphy confiscated on his apprehension was determined to complete this work. He continued his quest for meaning of life for he considered it a key to mental health. While in his cell he was able to scribble notes on pieces of paper to jog his memory. Frankl had an instinct for self-presentation, and general acts of decency. But as one of the Jewish doctors in the camp he strove to give other prisoners hope. His astounding approach found meaning possible despite suffering. Eventually, he and some prisoners lived to be liberated from the Nazi forces.

I read this book at a time that I was struggling with finding my purpose. It was quite eye opening. As Viktor says, the meaning of life is like a thousand plus pictures in a movie, each with their own meaning. It’s only at the end that you find the true meaning of life.

[Charles A.]

Great book with clear and concise examples of how even the worst of situations can have positive views from the people affected.

[Graeme Thompson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I knew little about the Holocaust other than I couldn’t comprehend a number like 6 million. This book takes you up close and personal but manages to provide tips for a life with meaning at the same time.
