Not so good , not too bad I was asking myself what if our ( hyper-intention ) of searching for meaning , caused us to loos that meaning or the opportunity to find it, as in sleep or happiness for example , because most " patients " after finishing this book will think over and over to " catch " that...

This book had come highly recommended in an article written by a highly acclaimed book critic in the local newspaper. I must admit, I only understood Mr.Frankl's underlying idea on reading this book the second time around and he is almost telling you person to person - 'no matter what happens, you ...

The last thing I wanted to read was a non fiction account of the Holocaust. I like my faerie tales and princess stories and so I was annoyed with having to read som...
