Man's Search for Meaning
By Viktor Frankl
In this book, Viktor Frankl talks about his experiences as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps during World War II and how he and the other prisoners dealt with such experiences. Based on his and other's experience, the author argues that while suffering is inevitable, we are able to cope with the suffering by finding meaning out of the experience and working towards the new sense of purpose. Through this whole process, individuals are able to find hope.
