" I was expecting some narration on various correlations of what he went through in the camps to life (family, work, personal, etc.). This was only about the camps which there are numerous books that I could have bought on those.
I was very disappointed that I wasted money on this. "

" This book was really about life in a Germany death camp. There was some "meaning" but mostly jewish prison camp review. "

-

" A very intriguing look at suffering. Always an opportunity to grow. I don't agree what he sees as the ultimate meaning of life; however, I do applaud his optimistic attitude and am humbled by his commitment to his fellow man. We can all learn much from his story. "

" This book changed my life, and gave me a better way to understand and interact with my own existence. Frankl's undying optimism, even in the face of tragedy, is both realistic and inspiring. I can't recommend this book highly enough. "

Molly | 12/10/2012
" Amazing. I need to read 3 more times and underline some passages. I'm loath to call it self-help, but it is that- and more. "

Dalal | 7/16/2011
" One of the most inspiring and moving books. Frankl is a very positive and strong writer who survived ww2, he talks about the philosophy of meaning an being. The questions he raises are very bold and striking. One of the best holocaust books out there! Highly recommended. "
-




Leanne | 5/23/2011
" This book was so interesting to read. Viktor talks about his experiences in concentration camps in psychological terms. It has changed my view on life. I only give it 4 stars because at times the book was hard for me to read because of his terminology.
"
-




Jordan | 5/22/2011
" Profound. While I would not say that it changed my fundamental outlook on life, meaning, or suffering, I would say that it corrected my perspective back towards an outlook that I've always had. A book that I will almost certainly read again.
"

Tristan | 5/16/2011

Craig | 5/11/2011

"
-




Michelle | 5/11/2011
" Interesting combination of memoir and standoffish observation of horrific events. Really appreciated some of the insights and conclusions but sort of an odd read overall.
"
-




David | 5/9/2011
" For me, Frankel's book is an exceptionally lucid, accessible exploration of existential philosophy--and this, in the setting of a Nazi concentration camp. Required reading for anyone leading an examined life.

"

Teresa | 4/29/2011
" Reread this for the first time since college. The most compelling part, of course, is how Dr. Frankl survived the Nazis. However, the logotherapy section is also interesting. Perhaps it is better suited for a more serious student of psychology, but I appreciated what Frankl was trying to convey.
