Man's search for meaning by Viktor Frankl

 Finished reading this book last week. This book is beyond my ability to rate. 




Viktor Frankl is doctor by profession,  survivor of Nazi's concentration camp. He derived a new theory of counselling called Logotherapy.

The first half of the book narrates his stay, struggles and survival stories in the Nazi camp. His analysis of his inmates, human behaviour in the extreme conditions,  the drift in the psychological mindset when they are suddenly free into the world.....

Its intense...but very depressing.  These are not merely stories but realities documented in detailed description of incidents and associated emotions. 

I took a long time to finish the book simply because it was emotionally heavy. 

I don't recommend this book because I didn't enjoy reading it.
