Summary
Finding Meaning in the Darkest of Times
A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. 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.

Critics Review
Viktor Frankl…one of the moral heroes of the 20th century. His insights into human freedom, dignity and the search for meaning are deeply humanizing, and have the power to transform lives. His works are essential reading for those who seek to understand the human condition. I have loved this book for so many years, and I think every human being should read it. – Simon Sinek 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 Pyjamas An enduring work of survival literature. * New York Times * Remarkable…It changed my life and became a part of all that I live and all that I teach.
