A book for finding purpose and strength in times of great despair, the international best-seller is still just as relevant today as when it was first published.
"This is a book I reread a lot . . . it gives me hope . . . it gives me a sense of strength."
—Anderson Cooper, Anderson Cooper 360/CNN
This seminal book, which has been called "one of the outstanding contributions to psychological thought" by Carl Rogers and "one of the great books of our time" by Harold Kushner, has been translated into more than fifty languages and sold over sixteen million copies. "An enduring work of survival literature," according to the
New York Times, Viktor Frankl's riveting account of his time in the Nazi concentration camps, and his insightful exploration of the human will to find meaning in spite of the worst adversity, has offered solace and guidance to generations of readers since it was first published in 1946. At the heart of Frankl's theory of logotherapy (from the Greek word for "meaning") is a conviction that the primary human drive is not pleasure, as Freud maintained, but rather the discovery and pursuit of what the individual finds meaningful. Today, as new generations face new challenges and an ever more complex and uncertain world, Frankl's classic work continues to inspire us all to find significance in the very act of living, in spite of all obstacles.
This gift edition come with endpapers, supplementary photographs, and several of Frankl's previously unpublished letters, speeches, and essays. This book was published with two different covers. Customers will be shipped one of the two at random.

If you're a Babylon 5 fan you might remember the line "It's easy to find something worth dying for. Do you have anything worth living for?". That's the question you have to explore and answer and once you've found it - cling to it with all your heart.

Bought. I need some quality literature to draw me away from the typical sci-fi stuff I usually find myself reading.
You can't buy kindle content from the app. Open it in a browser. On my iPhone, I share it to another browser I installed (edge) to buy it.
The Amazon app doesn't let you buy kindle books. You have to buy them through the Amazon website on your browser. For me The link sent me to the app and then redirected to the browser.

I wouldn't necessarily call it literature, in that it's not so well written that it's artistic. It is decently well written, but think of it more as a philosophy book (skirting the edge of self-help?) than say, Grapes of Wrath.
Amazing, potentially life-changing book …for the message, not the writing.
