Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
4.0
There is no doubt that Frankl’s life story brings a notable perspective on meaning in life and suffering. He saw first hand the quick downfall one ensues when they have lost meaning. Especially in today’s society, finding meaning in life and *especially* suffering can be incredibly difficult, but seems more important now than it has been in the last decade or so. He is valuably insightful and pulls from both personal and professional voices to convey his message.
There are two reasons why I gave it four starts instead of five. First, sometimes his expanded vocabulary and wordiness made it hard to follow IMO. And that could likely just be on me for having a more limited word bank than he. The other thing was I felt the second section pertaining to logotherapy was kinda repetitive and dry so I had a hard time getting though it.
I feel like I say this with almost every book I read lol but this should be a required reading for high school or early college.
