AUTHOR: VIKTOR E. FRANKEL
PUBLICATION: RIDER BOOKS
GENRE:PSYCHOLOGY/SPIRITUALITY
Few lines from book:
WHEN i picked up this book i assumed that this will be normal story but as soon as started turning the pages i started feeling it. It is not just a normal story but a series of very terrible experiences. Its like an autobiography of the author who have gone through pain of concentration camp in world war. Some of the experiences described by author were quiet frightening. One starts questioning the value of human life. Sometimes this book feels depressing but still dont want to put that aside.
This book seems like autobiography cum psychology of human being. All over the book just one thought was coming in front of me again and again. THE THOUGHT OF MEANING. Any person, no matter in which condition he or she is living must have reason or the aim for life. Without aim or reason life is meaningless. If person is tied with meaning then no matter what happens he will survive in that condition.
"he who has known why to live will eventually find out how to live."
SECOND part of book explains about "logotherapy" used for psycho analysis. Those who are interested in non-fiction and that too serious stuff can read this book. This book tells us that suffering do comes in our life. That is not in our hand. But what we can do is to choose, how to respond to it. This is not so fun to read this book. I could not read this with single sitting even though its a small book.
But for the people in psychology and psychoanalysis this may prove a great book.
All the best. Happy reading.

Few lines from book:
"Love goes very far beyond the physical person of the beloved. It finds its deepest meaning in his spiritual being, his inner self. Weather or not he is actually present , weather or not he is still alive at all, ceases somehow to be of importance."
" It did not matter what we expected from life. What matter is what life expected from us"
" A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears towards a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work,will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the "why" for his existence,and will be able to bear almost any"how" ".
