PD for Life’s R & R this week is ‘Man's search for meaning’ by Dr Viktor E Frankl, published in 1946.

Dr Frankl, was a Professor of Neurology and Psychiatry, who’s writings have been called ‘the most important contributions in the field of psychology since the days of Freud, Adler and Jung.

This is one of the most moving books I have ever read.

As a psychiatrist Dr Frankl takes you on his journey as a prisoner in the Nazi concentration and extermination camps in Auschwitz.

It is, in many parts horrific and hard to comprehend the cruelty and discrimination that man can inflict on another man, but it is also a truly remarkable story. Humbling and educational when one can see and apply the lessons throughout its content to their own life.

As quoted in the preface “Viktor Frankl’s'

Mans search for Meaning' is one of the great books of our time. Typically, if a book has one passage, one idea with the power to change a person’s life, that alone justifies reading and re-reading it and finding room for it on one’s shelves. This book has several such passages”.

One of many great takeaways quoted by Dr Frankly is “He who has a Why to live for can bear almost any How” Nietzsche.

I could continue and share so much of what I gained from this book but I would highly recommend reading it for yourself to gain your own meaning.

I often say when you come across a book that is highly recommended by those who you admire or inspire you, jump on it. All the many inspiration people I look up to and admire have said read “Man’s search for Meaning”. So I did, and I say thank you otherwise I might never have come across it.

I welcome your comments, thoughts and feedback
