Людина в пошуках справжнього сенсу

Es ist schwer in Worte zu fassen, wie sehr mich dieses Buch berührt hat. Die Art und Weise, wir Frankl das Leid fast wie ein Außenstehender analysieren kann, man aber gleichzeitig weiß dass er selbst betroffen war und auch nur deswegen die Analyse gelingt (wie er selbst zu Anfang direkt schreibt); All das macht dieses Buch einzigartig. Dabei auch seine Peiniger noch als Menschen darzustellen zeigt die Empathie, die dieser Mensch gehabt haben muss. Unglaublich beeindruckend.

This book was by far the most common answer in a thread I saw on Twitter about books on happiness. Based on Frankl's survival of Auschwitz, it's more intense than I had assumed. It's a great book, and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

tl;dr: "Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how.'"

Interesting and thought provoking.

I have to say that this is one of my favorite books of all time. I wish I would have read this book at a younger age, when the world seemed so bleak, and the psychiatry of then (and still of today) reduced ones existential anguish to that of "chemical imbalance."

I am surprised that I had never heard of Logotherapy, and am surprised that even though this book is one of the most recommended books of all time, the messages and thought seem to still be so utterly ignored.

This book was so full of gems, that I read it at a snails pace and collected so many quotes along the way. Read it, and drink it in slowly like a fine wine.
