Thoughts possibly to come, but otherwise I definitely need to re-read this again!!

Beautifully written account of a Jew who survived a concentration camp. I couldn’t quite dig into the second half of the book that elaborates his therapeutic treatment philosophy. Still, I would read it again without hesitation.

This is one of those books I fear to give a low rating considering it's worldwide success and sensitive topics it touches upon, but oh man, how bored I was.
The first half of the book was still somewhat engaging. Somewhat, because all the sad, horrible details did not feel as hortible as the should have been due to the nonchalant author's tone.
The second part lost me completely. It reminded me too much of a poor self-help book with "real" people examples you continuously doubt are real.

The idea of psychoanalysis has always irked me, I have always been a firm anti-Freudian. However, Frankl’s view of using logotherapy through the lens of the holocaust created an interesting new perspective for me. I was able to reevaluate past holocaust speakers I had heard and the countless stories throughout my aging through this new point of view.

My review will not do this work justice. Just read it.
