Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. FranklMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
The first half of the book is the most memorable for me. Not because it tells the Holocaust story that entails misery, but because it tells how the author managed to survive by finding meaning in suffering. It's so warm and enlightening.
"Again I quoted a poet—to avoid sounding like a preacher myself—who had written, “Was Du erlebst, kann keine Macht der Welt Dir rauben.” (What you have experienced, no power on earth can take from you.) Not only our experiences, but all we have done, whatever great thoughts we may have had, and all we have suffered, all this is not lost, though it is past; we have brought it into being. Having been is also a kind of being, and perhaps the surest kind."
