Man's Search for Meaning

This remarkable book made its author one of the greatest spiritual teachers of humanity in the 20th century. In it, the philosopher and psychologist Viktor Frankl—who survived the Nazi death camps—opened a path to understanding the meaning of life for millions of people around the world. Under the terrible, murderous conditions of the concentration camps, he demonstrated an extraordinary strength of the human spirit. The spirit is stubborn, despite weakness of the body and disorder of the soul. There is a reason for a person to live.
