Man's search for meaning book review

The book is principally divided into three corridor, the first one describes the way the Jews captures were treated in the Nazi Concentration Camps and how their life was. In the alternate part, the author described the basics of Logotherapy, a way of treatment of the Psychotherapeutic Cases. And eventually, in the third part, he described what he actually meant by Man’s Hunt for meaning. 

 

 Being a Jew, the author was transferred to the Auschwitz, Dachau and other attention camps during the Nazi occupation in Austria. Then, in the first part of the book, the author described his days in those attention camps, where is were no chance of seeing the morning sun in the coming day. And this happed every day. He described the way the SS guards used to treat the captures, the corruption prevailed in the camps, the malnutrition, the life of the camp Jews etc. The way he described the tortures the captures suffered, would surely bring gashes to your eyes. During his description, he also refocused out the cerebral condition of the other comrades in those camps. When utmost of the captures lost all stopgap of his life, some of them still kept the faith, that good days were coming. 

In the alternate part, the author principally described the Logotherapy ways. And the most intriguing part of the book is the third part. Then the author describes “ Man’s hunt for meaning ”. We, the mortal beings on this earth are living for a purpose. Until & unless we ca n’t find the purpose of our life, there's no reason for us to be then alive. utmost of the captures in the camps lost all of their expedients and also failed because they lost their purpose, as per the author. It's a must- read book for all I suppose. 

Best life changing quotations from man's search for meaning

 

 The book also consists of many life- changing quotations which I liked in the book and would like to partake 

1. For success, like happiness, ca n’t be pursued; it must postdate, and it only does so as the unintended side- effect of one’s fidelity to a cause lesser than oneself or as the by- product of one’s rendition to a person other than oneself. 

 

 2. There are effects which must beget you to lose your reason or you have none to lose. 

3. Suffering fully fills the mortal soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great of little. thus the ‘ size ’ of mortal suffering is absolutely relative. 

 

 4. No man should judge unless he asks himself in absolute honesty whether in a analogous situation he might not have done the same. 

5. The mortal being is fully and ineluctably told by his surroundings. 

 

 6. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, indeed as fate and death. Without suffering and death, mortal life ca n’t be completed 

7. Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it. 

 

 8. There's no need to be shamed of gashes, for gashes bore substantiation that a man had the topmost of courage, the courage to suffer. 

9. A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human who affectionately waits for him, or to an untreated work, will noway be suitable to throw down his life. He knows the “ why ” for his actuality, and will be suitable to bear nearly any ” how ”. 

 

 10. The body has smaller inhibitions than the mind. 

11. No bone

 has the right to do wrong, not indeed if wrong has been done to them.
