Yes to Life: In Spite of Everything by Viktor E. Frankl

I was expecting something hopeful and optimistic, but instead was presented with a logical argument. I felt like his descriptions of suffering failed to honor the complexity of the experience. I don’t believe suffering is so simple. That being said, I realize the historical context; perhaps he’s more focused on arguing against the Nazi’s disregard for human life and not so much directing his argument to someone like me. Also, I’m guessing some things were lost in translation.
TLDR:
Skip this and read Man’s Search for Meaning instead.
