BOOK REVIEW:
Man's Search for Meaning is a book based
on a true story about Viktor Emil Frankl, a Holocaust survivor who was also an
important Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist.
In his book, describes from the perspective of a psychiatrist, his experience
as a concentration camp prisoner.
In such horrible conditions, he was discovering the importance of finding
meaning in all forms of existence, even the most extreme ones.
After three years later, he was rescued by the American army.
Something that I found very interesting is that, when he returned to his job, Dr.
Frankl, asked his patients: "Why don´t you just commit suicide?" and
from their answers, he was able to find the guide-line for his psychotherapy.
I chose this book because I wanted to read something related to psychology and
a teacher recommended me.
For me, this book was easy to read because I found it very catchy but it took
me a long time to figure out a lot of words that I´ve never seen but it´s
normal.
I totally recommended this book because I believe that one way
to be able to deal with our life is through the awareness about how trifling
our problems are so this book is a good example.
No doubt that for Mr. Frankl was the key because he lived 92 years! ;)
