Book Review : MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING BY VIKTOR E.FRANKL


It took me forever, but I finished the book!
I must say even if the book itself wasn't so long one can't simply put into a short review about the vastness of the content the book holds.
It maybe, if put in simple words 'an account of a victim of the holocaust' but truly it is much more.
The author himself is a psychologist hence he brings out the psychological aspect of things thought relevent to the holocaust, can also be adapted to in real life.
The lessons one can learn from this book is alot.
From the depths of the basis of human existance to finding reasons to live ,it has the most beautiful lessons, all in one book.
I would suggest it to anyone and everyone but specially to those who may have lost a little hope and are suffering because this book may change you completely.
Not going to spoil the book for you all ,so I'll stop here!!
Thank you!!
P.s. : my favourite quote from the book(btw this entire book is a quote lovers paradise) :-
"To draw an analogy: a man's suffering is similar to the behaviour of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber is.
Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little.
Therefore the 'size' of human suffering is absolutely relative."
