"A book to read, to cherish, to debate, and one that will ultimately keep the memories of the victims alive" – John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas*

Viktor Frankl, a prominent Viennese psychiatrist before the war, provides a unique and profound perspective on the human spirit through his experiences in Auschwitz.

• Key observation: Frankl noticed that it was often the men who comforted others and gave away their last piece of bread who survived the longest. These individuals offered proof that, while everything can be taken away from us, one thing remains: the ability to choose our attitude in any given set of circumstances.
• Core belief: The sort of person a concentration camp prisoner became was not solely determined by camp influences, but by an inner decision.
• Frankl's philosophy: He concluded that man's deepest desire is to search for meaning and purpose, even in the face of immense suffering.

This outstanding work offers readers a timeless guide to transcending suffering and discovering significance in the art of living.
