ptitirodactyle's review against another edition

I do recognize the importance of such a book. I found the first part really interesting and enlightening. 

I don’t plan on reading the second part at the moment, because of the criticism that has been brought upon Logotherapy by numerous psychologists and the lack of scientific evidence to support some of the claims.

grimmworld's review against another edition

I just could not handle reading a 1st hand account of the horrors of being a Jewish person in a concentration camp. This was touted as a inspirational memoir, & I have no doubt it is, but if you have any form of depression, this takes you to a dark place, you don't need to be there.

You have to be in a perfect mind set in order to read this book. Not easily depressed, not over empathetic. If you cry while watching those coming home for Christmas commercials, you will have a problem reading this book.

the second way of finding a meaning in life is by experiencing something - such as goodness, truth and beauty - by experiencing nature and culture or, last but not least, by experiencing another human being in his very uniqueness - by loving him.

found a lot of comfort in the idea that even if it's so hard to see at times, there is some sort of meaning to life. hidden, hard to grasp, but it's there and it's eventually what pulls us forward, no matter how much easier it would be to just lose all hope. 
+ how we should stop with our dissatisfaction with what we were dealt by life, but rather find its meanin and keep going until we find something closer to our greater temporary meaning.
