Meaning

I just finished reading Viktor Frankl's 'Man's search for meaning'. I have many thoughts about this book running through my head, but I will reserve them for another day. The book talks of the depths to which the human brain can stoop, and the heights to which the human spirit can soar. And logotheraphy is by far the most accessible, and unpretentious form of therapy that I've come across. It perhaps seems odd for me to saying this, but I felt - and it is only very rarely that I have felt this way about a writer as I flipped the last page of his book - that, I would've been proud to have had Dr Frankl as my friend...

I agree- loved the simplicity of the book, and never would've imagined a book about such a time could leave me filled with hope the way this one did.

Neeraja - This is one of the best books I've read !:-)

Secondsight - Yes, I thought there was much credibility in the writings because of the simplicity of the book! And it didn't seem dated at all to me either !
