Man’s Search For Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl
My absolute favorite in the list. Frankl’s compelling account of his time in Nazi concentration camps, along with his insightful discussion of the human desire to find meaning even in the midst of distressing circumstances, has provided solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. Viktor Frankl survived holocaust concentration camps as a result of his belief that everything in the world must have meaning. He survived by believing everything must have a purpose. This book explores his harrowing struggle. With a goal of helping individuals find purpose and strength in times of great despair, this international bestseller is still as relevant today as when it was first published.
