Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything by Viktor E. Frankl
3.0
"[T]he individual, and only that individual, determines whether their suffering is meaningful or not." (100)
3 stars. It's overly simplistic to call this a draft of Frankl's better-known work because there is some new content to find here. But I do think it's best read as a supplement to Man's Search for Meaning. A bit more time is spent on the underlying reasoning that led towards Frankl's major assertions in Man's Search which is interesting but Man's Search is much more refined, so I feel everybody ought to start there for the fullest effect. Plus the fore- and afterwords are repetitive, largely rehashing the content of the lectures themselves.
