| Book Description | 16 MILLION COPIES SOLD'A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive' John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped PyjamasA prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that both he and others in Auschwitz coped (or didn't) with the experience. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the concentration camp prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Frankl came to believe man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living. |
| Editorial Review | "Remarkable...It changed my life and became a part of all that I live and all that I teach." ( Susan Jeffers, author of Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway and Embracing Uncertainty) "A poignant testimony...a hymn to the phoenix rising in each of us who choose life before flight." ( Brian Keenan, author of An Evil Cradling) "His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand the human condition." ( Chief Rabbi Dr Jonathan Sacks) "An enduring work of survival literature." ( NewYork Times) "If you read but one book this year, Dr Frankl's book should be that one." (Los Angeles Times) |
