WHY I WANT TO READ IT: Psychiatrist Viktor Frankl describes his years in Nazi death camps and its lessons for spiritual survival. He argues that we cannot avoid suffering but we can choose how to cope with it, find meaning in it, and move forward with renewed purpose. Frankl's theory holds that our primary drive in life is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but the discovery and pursuit of what we personally find meaningful.
