With more than 4 million copies in print in the English language alone, Man's Search for Meaning, the chilling yet inspirational story of Viktor Frankl's struggle to hold on to hope during his three years as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps, is a true classic. Beacon Press is now pleased to present a special gift edition of a work that was hailed in 1959 by Carl Rogers as one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought in the last fifty years. Frankl's training as a psychiatrist informed every waking moment of his ordeal and allowed him a remarkable perspective on the psychology of survival. His assertion that the will to meaning is the basic motivation for human life has forever changed the way we understand our humanity in the face of suffering. If you read but one book this year, Dr. Frankl's book should be that one. --Los Angeles Times A compelling introduction to the most significant psychological movement of our day. --Gordon W. Allport, from the Preface An enduring work of survival literature. --The New York Times

I've never recommended a book, but this one ought to be read by everyone. This is hard won wisdom from Frankl. What he had to say about meaning in life will always be relevant.

why read Frankl's book
This is an important work, both the first half about his time in the Nazi concentration camps, and the seond half that explains his philosophy on "meaning".
