Pros: An utterly compelling book from start to finish. The crushing reality and immediacy of the narrative of Auschwitz and Dachau would be itself worth every word, but to it is added and from it extracted a host of insights and aphorisms useful to the modern reader in their daily life. This is a book which every human aught to read.

Cons: A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing, and in few fields is this more important to remember than psychology and theory of mind. The ideas and interventions in psychology have evolved since the publication of this book. That said, the ideas have aged rather well.

Verdict: strongly recommend.

Me encantado saber que pensaban y sentía alguien que ha estado dentro de un campo de concentración siempre tan cerca de la muerte y las barbaries humanas. Ha sido una experiencia triste y también enriquecedora, la he sentido mucho la primera parte del libro. La segunda parte es más analítica, y reflexiona sobre la vida humana, el alma, la libertad, el sufrimiento. Temas existenciales que me ha gustado como los ha planteado y la naturalidad con la que se lee. Muy muy buen libro.

This isn't a book I feel I can review, because it doesn't belong to literature, it belongs to life. I will carry the meaning of this book always.
