"I said that someone looks down on each of us in difficult hours- a friend, a wife, somebody alive or dead, or a God- and he would not expect us to disappoint him."

In his book he set out the meaning and suffering. He helped people in the moment of suffering when he tells them to know their meaning of suffer. To understand that every situation could be more devastating and meaningful from the one you suffer now.Frankl said that from the aspect you watch every situation could make a difference. When he was in the concentration camp, his meaning was to write about his suffering and share his expertise about the situation there, and his only hope was to be able to publishhis paperwork. He watched a lot of people lose their hope and meaning then die.

WHAT THE BOOK IS ALL  ABOUT

The meaning is the light that keep you alive, when that light is off you slowly start to die.An example is when one of the prisoners of concentration camp said that he dreamt how the army will come next day and set them free, next day no one came. He loses hope, get ill from tuberculosis and die. The only hope for this prisoner was the army and freedom that he dreamt of, and when that reality break apart he lose hope for any other option, how possibly they will be saved.

WHEN All HOPE IS LOST

One of my favourite books to go, when i feel down and depressed.

A prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, Viktor Frankl was uniquely able to observe the way that he and other inmates coped with the experience of being in Auschwitz. He noticed that it was the men who comforted others and who gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest - and who offered proof that everything can be taken away from us except the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances. The sort of person the prisoner became was the result of an inner decision and not of camp influences alone. Only those who allowed their inner hold on their moral and spiritual selves to subside eventually fell victim to the camp's degenerating influence - while those who made a victory of those experiences turned them into an inner triumph. Frankl came to believe that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose. This outstanding work offers us all a way to transcend suffering and find significance in the art of living.

Viktor Emil Frankl M.D., Ph.D., was an Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist as well as a Holocaust survivor. Frankl was the founder of logotherapy, which is a form of Existential Analysis, the "Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy.His book Man's Search for Meaning (first published under a different title in 1959: From Death-Camp to Existentialism. Originally published in 1946 as Ein Psycholog erlebt das Konzentrationslager) chronicles his experiences as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living. He was one of the key figures in existential therapy.

Man's Search For Meaning

The wise man is not exposed, for he shines; h﻿e does not speak for himself, therefore he is glorified; not pointed out, due to being marked; he does not exalt himself because of superiority over others.

In an expanded format, enhanced with new calligraphy, is a timely and welcome reissue of the classic of Eastern philosophy and religious thought that sold over 200,000 copies in its previous edition.

“The eighty-one sayings in this volume shine like gems-cut clear and beautiful in every facet . . . . This translation will stand as the perfect rendering of a classic work.”—John Haynes Holmes Lao Tzu was one of the greatest mystics of all time. Legend tells us that he was immaculately conceived by a shooting star. Confucius, who met him only once, likened him to a dragon, the one creature in all creation whose ways he would never understand. Some hold that Lao Tzu was not one man but many men, and the work attributed to him, the Tao Teh Ching, the product of many minds over many centuries. But whether or not the Tao Teh Ching, here presented as The Way of Life, is the author’s own matters little. From its original in sixth-century B.C. China it has come down to us as one of the most powerful testaments ever written to man’s fitness in the universe. The basis of Taoism, one of the world’s great religions, the Tao Teh Ching has been translated more frequently than any other work besides the Bible. Articulating the way of poise, serenity, and complete assurance, it teaches us how to work with the invisible forces of nature, the psyche, and the soul for a more successful life. Not passive contemplation, but creative quietism is the Way of Lao Tzu, and it has never been more relevant than it is today.
