This book was recommended to me by two separate women who have been influential in my healing. It came into my life at a time where I am more ready to receive its lessons than I ever have been. To find meaning in unavoidable suffering, to love the past just along with the future, and to find purpose while also treating sources of undue stress are a few of the more prominent words of wisdom that I gleaned from this book. According to Viktor E. Frankl, to connect with our purpose is to address the root cause of our depression, aggression, and addiction. These are words I will carry with my as I continue to heal.

Are they applicable universally? It’s hard to say. But I can find ways that they apply to my own existence, and I am grateful for the guidance they provide.

A book that I think everyone must read at some point in their lives. Especially in the midst of a global pandemic, this book helped me reevaluate the values around which my life revolves and to get a whole new perspective on the human experience.
